my goods got nicked

I was doing a few missions and had a lot of cargo. I get a message. I have come along way for what's in your hold. I get interdicted, I slow to a full stop and we drop out. aggressor is a dangerous annie. during the battle my ship started to overheat, just as the pol arrive. I finished off the annie, but not before my cargo hatch failed and started to leak cargo. annie is down and I'm off collecting the goods I dropped. lucky I only dropped 2t. only one was mission cargo so it was that one I located first. I approached to about 50mtrs. when a npc did a flyby, promptly nicking my cargo.
this is the first time this has happened to me. had to make another stop to collect 1t to complete the mission.
is it a bug, mechanic?
has it happened to anyone else?
 
Well, well, well.....

Sounds like an abuse of power. Drop their shields, and take back what is rightfully yours.
 
Yeah, police will often try and remove/destroy any dodgy cargo that's floating about.
the t I lost was not illegal/dodgy. legit mine and pol decided he wanted it. I should have took it back but his comrade was a annie and I was low on matts and ammo. too much risk to take on them both. I spent 10 min traveling to a station to replace.
gets me the pol steal and most of the pirates that scan me say I have nothing they want. 60t gold and turns its nose up :)
 
It's also nice when they decide to interdict you right as you enter the stream of a neutron star... what timing...seriously

It didn't go well.
