If first you explode, go back and explode again

After several months in my own corporation - Sleeper Asset Relocation Services - I have left to join Paul in Honorless Internet Jerks. The choice was mainly driven by Paul's tendency to declare wars on mission-runner corporations which make for easy killing and great hilarity.
I'd previously assisted Paul with intelligence gathering on some of his war targets and was ready with a list of names to find and cause to have a very bad day. You may recall this spectacular series of kills from the middle of February. The corporation we deprived of a Kronos and a Absolution, "Shen's Heroes" is one of the current wars Honorless Internet Jerks has underway.
As soon as Paul approved me for the corp, I used a locator agent to track down 'dlagrone' to Lustrevisk. Paul hasn't blogged about this yet, but we previously found and destroyed an Orca and a Hulk from this fellow. I packed up the fleet and moved over to Lustrevisk. Assuming he was mining again, I checked all the belts but with no results. Assuming he was missioning, I determined the most likely station for him and waited.
Eventually he arrived and I was able to acquire a scan ID on his Drake. As soon as he flew back to the mission I swapped for my Harbringer (more mobile than the Gank Abbadon), landed on top of him and pewed him to bits.
I was pretty happy at this point, but I was astonished to see that he undocked five minutes later in a Raven and warped back to the mission. Assuming he was going to be PvP fit - but feeling confident I could take him - I shuttled back to Dodixie to pick up the Gank Abbadon. Fifteen minutes later I arrive back in Lustrevisk and warped to the mission. Unfortunately he warped just before I could put a point on him and docked up.
Once again, as Paul has said, bet on stupid. But feeling devious I log off Khalia in space and keep an eye on the station with my other accounts. Five minutes pass and out he comes and back to the mission. I give it another two minutes then log in and rapidly probe his ship to get a precise warp point. The Abbadon lands right on top of him, no warp out this time. He makes an attempt to fight back, but all I need is a few minutes and this is the result:
Looking at the killmail, I was amused to see no PvP fit at all. Shortly after all this I saw dlagrone heading toward a gate in a Caldari shuttle.
Don't worry buddy, the locator agent always knows where you are!
