...instead of an oil slick, the tide threw a more bountiful harvest their way - 40 metal shipping containers packed with everything from BMW motorbikes to bags of dog food and luxury cosmetics. Police were almost powerless to stop thousands of would-be salvagers hauling their beach booty away. Under British law, salvagers can take goods from a wreck for safekeeping, if they declare their finds to the authorities and are willing to eventually hand them back to the rightful owners...
