Started training for a Retriever so will have all Requirements met in 7 days. Since I am sometimes solo I was thinking of a good solo-fitting since it's not always i can mine with corp members.
2 x Strip miners I
1 x Shield booster ( best you can fit )
2 x Cargohold Expander II
3 x Cargohold optimizer I
And drones for defense.
It's really simple and to prevent ore-thieves I thaught a big cargo might be good so I won't have to return to station that often = be able to mine more without using a Can.
Is this like uber-bad or would this work out?

First of all, WTF are you doing putting 3 40M ISK rigs on a 6M ISK ship?
Secondly, without rigs (which are a waste on such a cheap ship), there is no possible way to fit more than one full cycle of ore onto your Retriever. As such, focus on ore yield.
My Retriever (before it was dusted by a crash) went with 2 strips, civvy shield booster, mining laser upgrade, and co-processor.
EDIT: Oh, and don't forget 5 light drones for defense.

Fun fact, a badly skilled retriever pilot will be out mined by a well skilled osprey pilot with mining drones any day. And the osprey gets a missile launcher for defense.

Rigging a Retriever is indeed nberbad. You'll be switching it for Covetor in no time (or a Hulk, if you have a stash of cash).
Strips in the highs (T1 unless you have fat skills and can manage T2+crystals. T2 without crystals suck), Survey scanner or empty mids, and MLU in the low. 5 light drones for defence.
If you feel really careful, fit a armor repper in the low to rep damage done to the barge by rats. Repairing a barge in station is quite expensive.
But, as said above, an Osprey with cruiser IV and T2 miners will, unfortunately, outmine a Retriever. Although it takes a crapload of micromanaging.

Have a setup with all t1 gear for my retriever. Does fine in .6 system. Barely notice the rats, drones take care of them easy. Find a quite system and you will rarely have to worry about ore rats.

In a 0.5 system:
2 Strips (T1 or T2, whatever you can handle)
Civilian Shield or named Small booster
Mining Laser upgrade + Named Co-Processor
5x light drone (Region specific)
Remember to set those drones on Focus Fire and keep an eye on them
As for throwing rigs on a Retriever....there are better ways to get the job done. I suppose one could put shield rigs on, but that's kind of overkill (and won't gain much) Cargo rigs...are even more expensive than the shield rigs and still won't gain much (save those for your haulers) If anything, I'd say look toward agility rigs (Low-Friction Nozzle Joints) if you go places where you might have to get out quick.
It'd be cheaper and easier to fully insure the ship and replace destroyed/lost modules now and then, than to rig a Retriever though. (and still pretty pricey for the gain to rig a Covetor) As for the Exhumers, rig away. (If a rig saves an Exhumer, it's more than paid for itself)
As for defeating can thieves, the simplest method is: Don't be where the thieves are. Get out of those busy systems that draw thieves. Get several jumps away, in fact. There's plenty of systems where it's nice and quiet. (and you can see them coming)
