I stole 15b in assets from a wormhole corporation.
Wasn't a super exciting story, I got intel that a C3 wormhole corporation was accepting nearly anyone and had lots of shiny stuff in public hangar of all places. Of course I immediately app'd and was accepted the next day. I spent 3 days waiting for a good opportunity/debating putting up a POS in system to make moving ships easier, but eventually decided to make a move randomly one night about 4 hours before downtime as the CEO was the last person online, and was kind enough to roll us a fresh hole right before he went to sleep, so we'd have the maximum amount of time to get things out.
My accomplice and I waited until the CEO had logged, and the only person left online was AFK in the POS in his Loki. We immediately scanned a lowsec exit and prepared to begin moving as many ships as we could out of the hole as quickly as possible (hauling whatever we could grab out of public assets in the cargohold).
Literally one trip, and a corp mate logged on. We thought for sure we were busted. Luckily for us, the guy literally only logged on long enough to do one or two directional scans, and ask in corporation chat "whose heron is that" (we had placed an alt in system to assist in flying out ships we weren't capable of and provide an additional scanner in case the hole closed). He then logged off, and we continued.
About two hours into the operation, another corporation member logged on - the AU TZ recruiter, who had the CEO's RL phone number. At this point we were trying to decide whether it would be best to feign ignorance or just get as much out as we could before the guy did something to stop us, since most of the more expensive hulls had already been moved out (there was still another 5-6b left in t2 cruisers, and t1 battlecruisers and battleships. We gave it a few minutes, and as surprisingly unaware as we were hoping he was, the dude starts doing math homework, in the midst of the heist!
For about 30 minutes, we were still flying ships out with a corporate member active within 3km of the ship hangar array. We were even stealing some of his ships! Then, as quickly as he had come, he logged off, leaving us free to grab the last of the t2 cruisers, finish with the t3's, and move on to the battleships. After that, I positioned myself to start bumping ships out that we couldn't fly ourselves. I jettisoned the first Onyx, and sure enough, as I'm hitting ramming speed in my Talos, the very same AU TZ recruiter logs back on on his alt, and lands right next to me in the POS.
Luckily, I was able to turn at the last possible second, and ram into one of the ship hangar arrays, effectively neutralizing my bump. I figured the situation was pretty obvious at this point, and was considering bumping it out anyway as we had most of the loot already. But much to my gracious surprise, he hadn't caught on to what was actually happening, despite his suspicions. The conversation went something like this:
Dude: "What's up with the Onyx?"
Me: "idk someone left it out, i'd put it away but i can't fly it lol"
Dude: "oh"
And he logs off again. A few quick bumps later, we had half a dozen recons and heavy interdictors secured in lowsec. We started snatching drakes, but eventually there wasn't a whole lot left except for some unfit battlecruisers and scraps, so we called it quits. I moved the loot over the next few days to Rens, then Jita.
As for tears, they threatened to fill freighters with our bodies and park them outside our home station. After the operation ended, suspicion was cast on my accomplice, resulting in his half being withheld, since I had all the stuff anyway.
TL;DR: noob c3 wormhole corp stored all their **** in pub hangar and i stole it
