Can ~~flipping mostly happens to jetcan miners or mission runners. This~~ is when someone ~~grabs stuff from your jet~~ can (e.g. ore) or ~~from~~ one of your wrecks and ~~drops~~ it ~~again~~. The ~~stuff that he drops isn't~~ yours ~~any more~~, ~~even~~ if it ~~was~~ from ~~your wreck or~~ can~~! When you then take “your” stuff~~ you are ~~seen~~ to ~~be stealing from that character~~ and he can~~, and will,~~ shoot you.

Can baiting is when someone puts out a can for you with "free items". If the can is yellow then if you take the items you will be considered a thief and they can destroy you. You can take from blue cans freely.

In principal, when someone steals your stuff, you can shoot him. But doing it in a mission runner (PvE fitted ship) is a bad idea. ~~His ship is PvP fitted~~ and he ~~will kill~~ you ~~or his fleeted friend will~~ come and ~~assist in killing you~~. ~~If you shoot at him then his entire corp can shoot at you!~~

So if there is a can flipper ignore him. If you are near Aldrat and in E-Uni make a call in mumble → combat lounge or mess.iln and ask for help. Do not engage him alone!

When someone steals from your ore jetcan or one of your wrecks they will then become flashy to you and you can engage them. Believe it or not, most of the time when this happens they don't care about the item itself, they actually want you to fight them. If you shoot at them then they can return fire and destroy you, and then they get a mission ship killmail and your modules.

Can flipping is a combination of ninja looting and can baiting. The perpetrator will steal from you and then drop the item in a can from you (possibly with a "oops, here have it back" in local). Even though it was originally yours, if you take it back from their can *you* are considered a thief to them and they can shoot you.

In principal, when someone steals your stuff, you can shoot him. But doing it in a mission runner (PvE fitted ship) is a bad idea. He's probably prepared for this more than you and believes he can defeat you. Even if you win he can then come back in a bigger ship and try again within 15 minutes. So if there is a can flipper it's usually best to ignore him. If you are near Aldrat and in E-Uni make a call in mumble → combat lounge or mess.iln and ask for help. Do not engage him alone!
