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. Stable doors and bolting horses come to mind! 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. 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..... -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) 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.

I think folk sometimes take the "every cloud has a silver lining" to extremes. |

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. 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. 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. 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! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

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!!
