Today at 20:53 i made a capital mistake by jumping to a highsec system - this time in my abaddon, not in my prophecy like last time.
After discovering that i jumped to the wrong system i sweared a lot for a brief moment, then started approaching the gate, firing my hardeners up. i got scrambled and webbed down to 1m/s, my tank was holding thanks to cap boosters 800 but it was pretty clear that i would die when i run out of those, so i asked some friends for help. One of 'em who was to far away contracted a damn lot of cap boosters to one of the others, he came in an industrial and dropped those in containers close to me, so i could refill my cargo with those boosters. Another Friend started bumping me in direction of the Gate over and over again.
It took us over 1h of that fantastic teamwork job to get me back to the gate in jumprange, when i jumped i had about 47% of my hull (it took damage while i still had some armor) left, armor was at arround 40%. and i used i think 5 or 6 full cargo loads (16) of cap boosters.
Thanks to my friends for that awesome and fantastic job (i decided to not put your names here before asking you, no need to tell everyone your friend with a bad guy like me) i owe you a lot.
Also thanks to all the guys who passed by and wished luck to us.
A shame i couldnt fraps it this time, but i guess logging out and in again would have killed me, and i dont have it allways on.. i made some screen shots, and might post 'em if i got green lights by the guys helping me.

Done a similar thing myself. Picked up my latest Maelstrom and was flying into a system that was a tad too high sec for me.. accidentally. To get of all things a cap booster >_<. Had 60mill worth of rigs in the cargo hold and full t2 shield tank and best named t1 guns with istabs in the lows for traveling. No insurance as I figured we're not at war and I'm not too likely to get blown up while making a new ship.
So I had very little cap regen. Lasted 16+ minutes of tanking without any cap mods or boosters. Got to 6.1km from the gate. With rigs and some cap regen in the lows I'd probably have made it myself.. no boosters needed. DOH!
Got my wonderful corpies that could get there to scoop the wreck for me. The faction navy don't do a huge amount of DPS really, probably hurt less than gate guns. But 1ms-1 sucks.
Glad to see other people making the same mistake.
Maybe I should stop half arsin' it and go the full -10, instead of being semi empire-able... :)

Did that with a corpy of mine awhile ago
He flew into a 1.0 by accident in a faction fitted ishkur (yeah hes obssessed with ishkurs...) so anyway he loses he and is so pi$$ed off he wants revenge on caldari Navy 
Next day he gets his hyperion(eh spellin?) anyway Galletean BS, uber dual tankage uses cap boosters, gets me to get a hauler FILL it with as many 800 cap boosters as can fit and off we go to pop teh navy 
He lands in gets insta jammed and webbed, tank holds fine, cap looks like it'll last ages even without me droppin some and hes makin decent ground back to gate. Then an inty shows up and surprise surprise tries take advantage by bumpin him backwards kept it up for ages but tank held but then diaster struck and my connection dropped and I couldnt get back in so I was afraid he'll run outta cap, I log in 15 minutes later and hes not only fine but beside the gate and killing the last Navy BS, he somehow got a lock and teh inty gave up bumpin him and he got to teh gate, he only needed me to drop boosters once (had 300 spare so came WAY overprepared maybe)
So in under an hour he got his revenge on teh Navy, and got back out again

hehehe quality stuff. I still remember when me and supaflytnt were flying dual domis back when we were mercing and not outlaw. he jumped into a .8 system and he was -3.5 or something. same as you webbed down to feck all so had to bump him myself all the way back to the gate, you still owe me for that one

Next time just deploy your drones the second you uncloak. The jamming ship will then get agro'd by the drones and they will kill the faction police one by one.
I got away from faction police this way myself once (I'm now a good citizen with -1.9 ) by utilizing this, uh, feature
You cant believe how much I was swearing at first, you know I was a good little boy camping the Perimeter gate in Jita for some afk-haulers with billions in their hold when someone in gang said "Lets camp the Jita gate in Perimeter instead", without thinking I jumped through and I was like, wait a minute thats a 1.0 system and I'm -2.4.
So I tried to warp off (obviously in a Maelstrom that wasnt going to happen), got jammed + webbed + scrammed instantly. So I thought, frack it, deployed my 4 Ogre I's and I was lucky that the 2 non-scrambling cruisers hadnt agro'd me yet, once they did the drones went for them first, pop'd them 1 by 1.
I think I was unlucky as well as the commander that scrambles was a battleship, but seeing as I was basicly a big buffer, it died when I was at 10% shield and 95% armor (no reps, just extenders).
Wouldnt have been a huge loss, all unnamed-T1 gear in an insured maelstrom (you know the basic empire-gank setup ). Since then though I've seen the error of my ways and no longer do empire ganks (I cba to rat my sec up again and not allowed by the new alliance).

Good job with the teamwork!
I tried this not long ago on the test server (was bored ). Did not know what would happen. I was in my Drake. Webbed, scrambled and 1ms, unable to lock on. Tank hold fine (passive 199 sec regen ) but of course no change. So I ejected and warped back to the station. Got myself a new Drake but this time with FOF missles.
The FOF is great if you get caught in such a situation! Problem is though they shoot what is aggrowing you. Anyways, by killing the frigs the webbing stopped. Takes only 1 volley to take them out.

Ive done that too many times, back when I used to pirate in oursu.
A past-time of mine was running 4/10 and 5/10 plexes in my ishtar. I was just running back from a serp 4/10 and I managed to jump into 1.0 (I was -2.1)  So I shouted a bit in local, and got a bunch of nubbins in velators to come bump me back to the gate (Yarr!) while my tank held firm
Another thing to do in an Ishtar, is fit it with a full Gallente tank (Therm / Kinetic) and jump into hisec as an outlaw. Then, when the navy begin to pew pew you, launch drones before the last guy aggros. The drones go for them, and begin to pop them all. Leave it afk, and in an hour you'll have 100+ gal navy cans with tags in them

Man you got lucky, i would have locked you and blown you up.
The same thing happened to a alliance member.
He was in a passive Drake, so no need for the boosters.
We all logged in with our high-sec alts, {yes some of us have those} hopped in
some industrials with MWD on and bumped him back safely.
The whole undertaking took about 15min.

You actually get tags for doing this? I've read elsewhere that isn't the case.

friend of mine told me to jump through a gate to help him camp it... then as i activate he's like "oh wait this is highsec" i burn back to the gate in my dual repped cane and the brutix that we were planning on killing bumps me (albeit terribly) when i get to 3k and i can't regain my momentum and i pop ;_;

I've seen russian farmers in drakes killing navy spawns with FoF and drones... if they do drop navy tags , that's an useful resource when you consider the requirements of LP shop offers.
I like doing punitive expeditions on the test server with various BS. It seems that smartbombs aren't very good , cruiser spawns tend to orbit out of their range and it's so easy to get concorded...
While it's possible to save BS and other tough ships by sending them extra cap boosters , it's a much worse problem when you jump with sentry aggro - and likely a crim that adds concord ontop of that.

escaping concord is an exploit and bannable. Escaping or even defeating the emprie patrols is perfectly VALID and patrols are not players so not udner concord protection (as far as i know)

about a week ago I jumped into a 1.0 while I was -2.1 in my vexor... Lucky for me I had enam's and a medium armor repper II fit along with a mwd so I got back to the gate in no time at around half armor...
So then a corp mate tells me this story of how he once took a warp stab fit thorax through high sec while he was a pirate. So I get to thinking, dock up and fit the lows completely full of stabs except one slot for my repper... no dice, I made it back to the gate at 10% hull that time and decided I could use an alt to get teh things that I needed without losing anything...

Following an unfortunate incident involving 6 Hulks, 3 Retrievers, a Drake and an Occator, and a smartbombing Raven, my sec status is now somewhat lower than it used to be. So I took a passive FOF Drake into toohighsec, trying to get through to the next system, and started wasting the faction police.
Unfortunately they get on respawning. I couldn't kill them quickly enough to warp away from the gate. I just had to slowboat back and jump out.

Even though it has the smell of an exploit (using bumping to counter being webbed) it's still an admirable deed.

I was webbed down to 8 m/s or something silly. I slowboated about half way back before a corpmate arrived in a MWD Hurricane and bumped me the rest of the way. There were a LOT of faction police wrecks when I left.
