I've tired of my fortress so I figured I'll do the standard turn the place into a shitfucked hellhole that looks like something a zombie cat vomited up in the middle of a tornado before getting shit on by Armok himself FUN tactic. However, I'd keep a few items for a future adventurer. Any idea on how to do this?

Item scatter distance is a function of their weight. Maneuver the items you want into some heavy lead bins and you should be ok.

I also believe that items are only scattered on their initial z-level. So if you build a tall tower and store everything at the top, those items will be easy to find.

I'm not sure about this, I have found pig tail socks on top of mountains after a reclaim, on the wrong side of the map.

Can you lock in the items, like walled in?

Make a heavy cage and put adwarf inside along with all the goodies? although I'm not sure if you can get it out..

I used to think you could, but I've had food barrels, ballista arrowes, ect go through multiple locked doors, a set of floodgates and raised bridges to lay around outside of my fortress.

The only way to have stuff stay where you want it is to put it into a bin. Almost any full bin will be heavy enough to not go anywhere once you abandon. Even reletively lightweight items put into a normal wooden bin will stay put. No need for lead bins from my experience.
