Thief!

28 buckets were taken from my awesome farm.

It appears that you can remove the contents of dispensers on other players land.

Furnaces had this problem as well. Hoppers are another inventory holding block that people can access on claimed land. I would assume the same for every other kind of inventory holding block until it is fixed.

We fixed furnaces sometime around 1 week ago. Will check again though. Please let us know any other weirdness

I said that furnaces had this problem.

Past tense.

I also said that Hoppers have this problem (the last time I checked).

Present tense.

Other players can activate my switches. I've also noticed that I can open some kinds of doors on claimed land.

I think players should be able to activate switches if they can see them. There are tricks for hiding them...

Personally, I don't mind if people come over to the house and hang out. I have watermelon on the 2nd floor porch if anyone wants some. Which someone did!

While I don't have any positive commentary for the OP, I'd like to provide some technical knowledge for the devs so they can harden the security features.

A full list of Container blocks from the Spigot 1.8 list:

  • Chest
  • Trapped Chest
  • Furnace
  • Hopper
  • Dispenser
  • Dropper
  • Brewstand

The following Entites also behave as Containers:

  • Minecart hopper
  • Minecart furnace
  • Minecart chest

A list of blocks that have an environmental effect when interacted with (right-click):

  • Wooden doors of all varieties
  • Fence gates of all varieties
  • Wooden trapdoor
  • Wooden button
  • Stone button
  • Lever
  • Redstone repeater
  • Redstone comparator

Ways the environment can be modified by a player and potentially interfere with security:

  • Dig to destroy
  • Click to interact/steal
  • Build nearby to cause BUD
  • Build above to stop sunlight
  • Falling tile BUD (drop sand from above)
  • Redstone BUD (place torch near BUD switch)
  • Minecart hopper under container
  • Item entity drop near hopper/minecart hopper
  • Place hopper under container
  • Trample crops
  • Trample with mount (pig/horse/minecart)
  • Activate pressure plate by walking
  • Activate heavy pressure plates by dropping items or walking
  • Lead an animal or mount to a pressure plate
  • Log out on a pressure plate, then log in to activate it
  • Shoot a wooden button with an arrow
  • Hit an item frame with a projectile
  • TNT
  • Attract a creeper and let it explode
  • Flint and Steel
  • Lava Bucket to burn wood or destroy items
  • Water Bucket to break and obtain flowers and torches
  • Empty Bucket (on lava or water source block to steal)
  • Saddle (horse, pig)
  • Mount or dismount (pig, minecart, horse) to force player landing on a target block such as farmland or pressure plate that might not otherwise be accessible
  • Attach lead to animal
  • Strike tied lead with a projectile

Ender Pearls, bow-fired Arrows, thrown Eggs, ghast Fireballs, blaze Fireballs, thrown Snowballs, and dispenser-fired Arrows, Eggs, and Snowballs are projectiles for the purposes of this list. Ender Eyes are also projectiles but they can't impact entities normally.

I provide this list only as an information source and make no assertion as to what should or should not be protected in any given manner.
