artist Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 TOO far up the coast for me. I probably would have had a look though. Human nature - though the papers are calling them scavengers..........I wonder if the chaps with the motorbike will get prosecued - isn't it against the law?No difference to scavenging from a wreck I would have thought.

The property belongs to the Official Receiver and if not reported is regarded as being stolen. If reported a reward based on the value and difficulty of salvage is paid.Thos.

Tankus Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 2.30pm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Police to trace stolen ship goodsJames SturckeTuesday January 23, 2007Guardian Unlimited People remove goods washed up from the MSC Napoli on Branscombe beach in Devon. Police warned today that they will search properties and arrest those who fail to report items they have scavenged from a Devon beach.Robin Middleton, the government's head of salvage, condemned the "abysmal behaviour" of hundreds of people who descended on Branscombe beach and opened sealed containers washed ashore from the MSC Napoli ship, which was grounded a mile off Sidmouth at the weekend.Amid mounting criticism of the police and various maritime agencies for failing to stop looters from taking thousands of pounds worth of property, authorities said a private security company brought in by the salvage company would enforce the closure of the beach.New BMW motorbikes and engine parts have been removed by "beachcombers" and one Swedish woman watched on television as people rifled through a container holding family heirlooms being sent to their new home in South Africa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
