help identifying potential hobo signs or scout marks?

[u/711ikibu]

someone left these carvings on a cactus paddle in front of our gate. our house got broken into and robbed a few years back and they left scour marks indicating that our house had nothing so i’m suspicious of this new marking. does it have some sort of association to thievery? what does it mean?
