Good idea.
But: I have a feeling that once you make ore thieving a profession with a slight risk to it, the profession will disapear.
Because, lets face it once and for all: Stealing ore is not about profit but to create grief with no danger to yourself. The moment they risk being shot at, they will stop stealing.
I don get this attitude! Sure, some people are just griefing *****s, but some of us do it as our main job, for money. We understand the risk and specialise our skills for the purpose of being better at ore theft. A little danger wont stop us: People have declared war because of our work, but we continue nevertheless. A little extra danger wont trouble me... *strokes cloaking device*

Eh? Understand the risk, you say? What risk?
Personally, I really couldn't care less about secure containers and locks and all that. What's
important here is that ore thieves can take our ore and we can't do a damn thing about it. The
minute some kleptomaniac sticks his greasy little hands into my can, I want a free pass to open
fire on him without being punished for it. Hell, let Texas rules apply - tresspass and you're fair
game.
Understand the risk... jezus!! :\

Yes Olixia. But you dident steal ore from the guys you were in war with did you? I doubt it. It will be different when the miners can shoot at you. Im sure.
And btw: You have really misunderstood something if you steal ore only for profit. It must be the least profitable business in eve. You should be able to make more isk running a few trade routes with your hauler. How much do you make a day?

Actually, I think the best way to be an ore thief is just to go out with a smaller ship and try to confirm that your "target" is a macrominer. Once this is confirmed, just haul off his ore until you have enough, then petition CCP if you feel like adding insult to injury, or add them to your address book for future reference in a folder titled "Cheaters I Can Profit from" 
This will give ore thieves lots of targets while, at the same time, reducing the profitiability of cheating

The OP has come up with a sensible "middle ground" solution here
Couple of points
No Ore Containers in 0.8 and up else the big mining corps wiill come and strip mine the noob systems like Chaven and Kisogo and generally stuff up the whole noobie experience.
Ore containers should self destruct when anchored after a period of say 8 hours. This will stop the litter and lag. Any cans recovered then re-launched will reset the timer.
Make them quite big say 12,000 so you need some industrial skills and I agree with the idea that you make them the same size inside and out.
Once this then you have 4 options for mining.
Mine and return to base each time your hold is full for noobs with low skills
Secure can mining Lots of hassle no risk
Ore can mining medium hassle medium risk
Jet can mining low hassle no security at all
Each pilot gets to choose the level of risk that suits him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can earn about 10 million in two hours, taken from macrominers in the Rens area. Its pretty good money since I have only been playing about three weeks.

I disagree, its not fine the way it is. I thought I'd give this game a go. My first concern was that you are rewarded for the length of time you play, and secondly I have never liked PvP.
I'm not a hare, I'm a tortoise in this game and have been playing for about 4 weeks and am way behind most of the other people in my corp, skills and equipment.
But I was enjoying it, and have met some nice people. However, ore theft and an arrogant b*****d to boot called beellzeebub has ruined the game for me and I have since cancelled my subscription.
Shame really.
