OK this is been kinda driving me nuts so I thought I would post a few recommendations on how to avoid ore thieves.
1) Use bookmarks- this is key to reducing the amount of ore that will get stolen if an ore thief is after your ore.
a) insta docks
b) insta pick-ups
2) Keep an eye on local and if you notice ore thieves in local start hauling out your stuff.
a) Every ore thief you find add them to your addressbook and when you see green in local you dont know pack it in and go do something else
b) Set ore thieves to -10 standing so they appear as red when you see them in the system
c) I recommend blocking them as sometimes (not always) ore thieves love to smacktalk
3) Move to quieter systems. Not only will you avoid ore thieves you will also get better results in your mining. There is over 6000 systems in EVE I am sure you can find a fairly secure system that is 2-3 jumps off the highways and away from the thieves.
I in no way endore or condemm ore thieves as it is considered a occupation. I thought I would post this for people to consider and read.
Cheers,

It's better than hearing about the guy who left an unmanned indy next to his mining ship and mined into that. You can imagine what happened.
But yeah, good post. The best defense is to look for systems that are classed as 'out of the way' and keep your head up.

How about just not using jetcans?
Also, ore thieves nearly never smack. I personally have never seen an ore thief smack in my life. Its always the miners, not the thieves, who smack and complain.

Simple greed, ignorance, lazyness and stupidity will keep miners from taking measures to prevent ore theft.
Sadly CCP can't help them with solving those problems, and I don't think they should mutilate this game so it suits the needs of these types of players.
Ore thieves are the games punishment for jetcan mining. Simple as that.

Stop mining become one, there now it belong to this forum.
where there is more thieves then miners thives will go away, so will producers due to lack of minerasl, then pirates will go due to lack of ships, then at last wehn we are all Thieves, we can jettison what we have stolen and let other steal it so they can do the same so we can steal it back.

Oops! My mistake, sorry for the confusion... I checked the megathron and to my disappointment it has only 7 turrets, and one additional hi-slot. I am nt sure now whether it is worth switching from a Tempest to a Mega for one additional mining laser...
Just me,

You know I Jet mined for 3 months daily and I used most of the tactics listed in this post and my ore was only stolen once. So these tactics do work.
Anyway, please post any tactics you use to avoid or prevent ore theft.

I agree nice post One other thing u can do is to make a bunch of false cans around the one your mining into say like 10 and put 1unit of ore in each or whatever you fancy. That will deter a ore thief cause who wants to spend there time looting cans with 1 unit of ore

tank a rat spawn in 0.5 to 0.7 while mining, if orethief approaches when he is within 5k, warp out
let him play with the rats for a bit and earn his stolen ore
not a garrunteed tactic, but is fun none the less

My IT3 does a total of about 120 damage with its smartbombs and has an AB. Burn for the can, if an NPC gets in range, BOOM BOOM BOOM. For the cruiser, shield rechargers 4tw.

Very nice post, and some very good ideas. I mine in my Retriever, and instas are a very good idea when mining/hauling alone. From my experience, most ore thieves tend to stay around 1.0-0.8 since most are n00bs. So, I just go to a 0.6 system or so and use my drones to fight off the rats. 8 light drones work great.
