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.

Stable doors and bolting horses come to mind!

Not just Devon - some people came from 'two counties away', according to one
report. But no surprises, I'm afraid - looting is an old past time.....

It's not technically looting otherwise they could be shot. The one
heartening thing is that some of the locals that have been interviewed are
horrified by the events.
I do hope that some of the grinning buffoons who have boasted about their
loot get shot-or perhaps a quick slap.
There was an incident round here when a woman crashed her car and by the
time the Ambulance arrived she had "lost" her handbag and laptop.
I think folk sometimes take the "every cloud has a silver lining" to
extremes.

What I don't understand is the difference between looting and stealing by
finding. And *could* they still be shot? It seems unlikely as we no longer
have capital punishment, even for the worst of crimes.

The first time I went to Italy, my ex husband and I arrived to stay with his
aunt and uncle, just outside Turin. I'd never met them before. As we were
having tea, the phone rang to tell his aunt that her mother in law had been
knocked down and killed on a zebra crossing. It had taken the police and
hospital hours to identify her by the initials inside her wedding ring
because, as she lay dying, someone stole her handbag. The world is full of
people that define the word 'scum'.
And today, we read of one woman whose car was hit by a falling branch in the
storms and wrecked. She, her son and her mother were lucky to escape with
their lives. Police told her to leave it where it was until she could
arrange for its disposal, because it was un-driveable. So when she went
back next day, there was a parking ticket on it AND someone had stolen the
stereo!

When I worked as the RSM's clerk in Chatham, the chief clerk came in one
morning and said he had had a puncture along the A2. He'd been followed
by another soldier who lived off camp.

They got out and jacked up the car and had taken the wheel off when
another car stopped and a man got out.


Instead of helping, the man told the CC that if they were taking the
front wheel would he mind if he took the back ones and the radio!!

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.

Yes, it is not all commercial goods in those containers. One sad thing
I heard was the fact that a South African family were moving all
their possessions either to or from SA in one of those containers, and
they could see their stuff being looted on the beach.
