Pretty amazing that even on a private server like this with only like a dozen people playing, all from a reasonably respectable, intelligent community, you still have **** like this occuring.
I'm just about done here.
I was on the server yesterday when a new player said in chat he'd found a chest in the middle of the desert, taken what was in it and asked if that was ok.
As he described it, it was not marked in any way and just sitting there - if that was the case, and that was your chest, you can not expect to just pop up a random chest, leave it there forever and have noone touch it if there's nothing suggesting that anyone owns it.
You can find generated chests all over after the 1.8 update - I found two in the stronghold that were chock-full of all sorts of stuff and you'll find chests with diamonds and other goodies in abandoned mines. I don't know how the area around (what was possibly) your chest looked like, but unless it was marked somehow, you can not expect, especially a player completely new to minecraft, to somehow magically realize that this chest belongs to someone.
I'm sure he'll give you your stuff back if he's made aware of the situation.
And seriously - locking chests is really easy. It not only secures your stuff, if only from misunderstandings, but it tells people who 'operates' in that area too, which can help avoid other confusion.
