Good question! The general rule with that is that if the location was used at least once a month prior to the arrival of the Stalkers, then it's not considered abandoned. Miscreants that only visited the location to loot, vandalize, trespass, and so on don't count toward that designation. And of course Stalkers that have been using that location to do horrible things don't count either.

As according to Legal Match, "personal property is generally considered to be abandoned when it is found in a place where the property’s true owner intended to leave it, but is in such a condition that it is apparent that the owner has no intention of returning to claim the property." That can be applied to most of the locations here that have the ABANDONED designation, but there are a few exceptions (Slacker's Shack, which most Pokemon in Seabourne think is abandoned, when really it's often used by naughty teenagers being the most obvious example).
