Ha - just what I need, free Beemer parts and none of them fit mine :-(

Oh well, better go back and help Sacha with the shipping order to
Jersey ;-)

I can just see my daughter in law's face when she receives a consignment
of
sal****er Pampers! ;-))
What we're having a problem understanding is why people are being allowed
to
do this! If it's illegal, as is reported, why are the police merely
handing
out forms to be filled in and returned, telling them where the 'salvaged'
goods have gone? The whole thing is utterly bizarre - why not just close
off the beach until the shipping company's salvage people move in?

It's been shut off now. Excellent video evidence of the potential thieves
(if they don't fill out the forms).
From Lyme Bay to eBay. Yes some stuff is already on the site:-(
I never realised that Devon housed such vermin.

It's apparently not illegal provided that you do not attempt to hide it
and you inform the official Receiver of Wrecks, so the goods may be
returned to the owner if he/she wants them. Hence the handing out of
forms to enable people to do this.
