I'm out in the middle of no where in uninhabited systems and every shipwreck I find has these skimmers. Do all shipwrecks have skimmers and is cargo found also considered stolen? A few times I have also ran across some buildings, they also have skimmers-- what are they?
Does every shipwreck have skimmers??

Some wrecks don't have skimmers, though skimmers have gotten more common lately. The cargo isn't stolen, but will sometimes be illegal anyway. Got one once that had fish, fruit, animal meat, and nerve agents. One of these things is not like the others...
Skimmers are usually wanted, so they're fair game to kill (just be sure to check first, just in case). They're weak and not very bright, just don't get to close and you can pick them off one at a time.
The buildings are camps/small outposts. They'll usually have either a scannable data point or some neatly stacked cargo. The data points give you a few CR and sometimes one of the "firmware" type Engineer materials. One gave me a trespassing fine for scanning it once, I don't know how to tell which datapoints will do that and which ones won't.
The cargo in ouposts, much like wrecks, won't be stolen but may be illegal. Nerve agents are a popular spawn for surface cargo for some reason.

Cool, I just ran across one with 4 canisters of gold
