There are mechanics that protect assets in player-owned (and therefore destructible) structures, so long as the station is properly fueled and maintained in known space. Your stuff gets whisked away to a nearby NPC station, where several days later you can retrieve it for a certain percentage of its assessed value. Of course, should the station owners fail to maintain said station (you'll get a notification if the structure goes low-power), or you're bold enough to park assets outside of known space (wormholes, Pochven, etc)...upon destruction about 50% (random chance, the Loot Fairy is quite capricious) of your stuff can wind up in a big debris cloud affectionately known as a "loot piñata". Destroying an abandoned station is quite easy, the real problem is snapping up the haul before rival raiders swoop in for a fight.
