If you are mining in a busy system with stations there I do not suggest jet can minning.
If you mine in a system that is not where you reprocess at I use the following techinque. I set a BM at a resonable distance, 200+ km, from the belt where I drop my cans at. Decreased efficiency but increased security.

Named cans are always bring me joy and make me focus on that belt FIRST, if there's more targets around. Just saying.
I then label them "Come and get me"  Just kidding 
If you ever decide to use this techinque just make sure that you do not set the BM in line with any celestial object or this will not be as secure since the can flipper can just get into a Interceptor and find the can with a little extra work.

What keeps me from warping to your can?
If you scan me down while I am at the spot nothing is stopping you.
If you can't me find with a scan in the few seconds that I am there how do you warp to the can?
I tend to only spend a few seconds there and I do not warp there if someone is in the belt.
EDIT: Or can you warp to a can if you are within a certain distance of it? I should add that the BM's I lay down are off grid, I can not remeber how far that is  , so if you can get them on the grid I guess you can get there.

can is a warpable object so as long as it's further away than 150km I'll be there faster than you (as I'm in a fast nimble ship and you're in a miner). If it's not further but more than 75km I'll simply burn away from it at over 3km/s and then warp as I get to the 150km point. OR I'll simply BM it, then warp to the planet and then warp back to the BM. Takes about 20 seconds tops.
It's not really helping you :)
If you put the can outside the grid then that changes stuff, I can't probe for it. I might try and burn towards it or probe you as you're unloading, but that takes way too much effort and is not very efficient.
Interesting. You learn something new everyday. Well the technique has prevented me from getting flipped to this point. I guess I do not mine in systems that are frequented by flippers or I do not attract competent flippers
Also: One of these days I will take you up on your TS offer, just not getting on very frequently and I do not want to bother you if I am only on for a few minutes.
