EVE Mineral Rustling

Don’t you love Jet Can tippers? I know I do. They always have shiny expensive ships and nothing better to do then waste everyone’s time. I had a run in with one today. He warped in on the belt I mining in, and proceeded to approach me. I immediately filled my Retriever’s hold, and docked with the station I was aligned on.
Upon coming back to the same spot in my hauler, my can had been replaced by his, and he was sitting there in a Nano Curse, orbiting the can at 8KM.
After waiting him out for 10 minutes, I decided that if he pops my hauler I don’t care, I want my fucking ore back. So I found an asteroid on a straight line drawn from a station, and his can. I approached that rock and when ready, aligned to station to “keep the motor running” as it were. As soon as I hit 1500 meters from the can, I opened it, took the ore (and his place holder he used to create said can, more on this in a bit), immediately selected the aligned station, and mashed the dock button.
I was instantly at warp and safely away before he could activate webs on me.
I did feel bad about stealing his place holder, so I did up a contract so that he could get it back…
Lol, I’m such a stubborn dick.
