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.

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.....

LOL Sacha was last seen rolling barrels into the back of a truck.

I did rather envy them those which, as our local paper put it, will
undoubtedly end up planted up in somebody's garden, somewhere! Apparently
they're worth about £100 each!

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.

Oh, that was *awful*. A report said people were seen moving off with family
portraits and obviously personal household effects and there were
photographs lying around on the beach, showing that young couple.
I wonder if the enquiry will show that ship to have been overloaded for the
conditions. I know there's a large chunk of metal hanging underneath but it
looked very top heavy to the untrained eye.

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!

Yes but not on the dead man's chest. ;-) Or any other part of his anatomy,
for that matter.
