The obvious solution to the problem is to remove missions from the game. Make it so salvage can only be gained from pvp wrecks and thats that...easy as pie..lol

Im going to break a cardinal Salvagers rule and tell you how to reduce the salvage "thieves" intrusions.
While doing missions, attempt to do them without drones. Most probers are finding you by tracking them.
Bookmark your rooms with each jump. Turn in your mission BEFORE you return to salvage. This will eliminate the jump gates which most probers bookmark and enter when you leave. In the least it will save you the salvage from the last room because they will not have reached it yet and when you turn in the mission they no longer have a way to get there.
Don't smack talk the salvager that does show up. Simply advise him to leave. If he fails to leave then blow them up.
Aside from this the best bet is to salvage as you go.

I can salvage a large size mission in about 20 minutes...getting anywhere from 10 to 15 million on average.
For the last week I have tracked not only the average value of salvage per hour, but then the average gained from rigs I created from those same salvage parts...which can exceed 20 million.
Granted there was an initial investment in the blueprints, which is more then paid for, as well as the ships that I have set up specifically for the job and the implants to improve my abilities...but one long weekend covered all that.
I would say that salvaging can be quite lucrative. just day before yesterday i stumbled across a low grade snake epsilon implant that the owner gave me 100 million for finding it.

An example of what i have salvaged in the last 45 minutes.
Alloyed Tritanium Bars..........21 $9.5 million worth
Armor Plates....................31 $4.1 million worth
Broken Drone Transceivers.......16
Burned Logic Circuits...........131
Charred Micro Circuits..........119
Conductive Polymer..............87
Contaminated Lorentz Fluid......11
Contaminated Nanite Fluid.......22
Damaged Artificial Neural.......92
Defective Current Pump..........26
Fried Interface Circuit.........166 $3 million worth
Malfunctioning Shield Emitter...114
Melted Capicitor console........31 $8 million worth
Scorched Telemetry Processor....351
Tangled Power Conduit...........44
Tripped Power Circuit...........182 $3 million worth
Ward Console....................102
Average ingame prices used to calculate......
One advantage I have is that I have befriended a few mission runners that will gang me and allow me to tractor in the wrecks. I return the favor by offering them 50% of the take, nost of which refuse (thank you again).

I have 14 systems so far that I have intricate bookmark grids set up.
This morning was spent 6 jumps from Motsu. I typically work the systems between Motsu and Urlen.

Look at it this way...
You go out and buy yourself a candybar. You tear open the wrapper....eat the bar and toss the wrapper on the ground.
Then a guy comes along and sees the wrapper and thinks...hey, I can use that wrapper inside my ant traps that I am manufacturing. Ants love the chocolate and this wrapper will make my ant trap work better.
Now you over hear the guy and think to yourself..wait a minute, i could make few pennies off this guy if i sell him my wrapper. But its too late, you left it laying on the ground to blow away.
I could see where it would be a crime if someone came along and took the candybar, depriving you of the pleasure of eating it, but to pick up your wrapper that you left on the ground should hardly result in a flag.
Bottom line is....if you are in a mission and want the salvage, do something about it. There are ways you can adapt to this situation, salvage as you go...get buddy to salvage it..contract a salvager to get it for you and share the wealth...which ever you choose, move on with it...this subject is getting old
