Quite. BMW won't want back 50 bikes that have been in the sea for a day. They will just file a claim for the value of the bikes with the ship owner's insurers.
According to latest reports some of these people are nothing more than common thieves.
A number of items as already been listed on ebay.
Thieves my @rse! These people are just individually exercising their right to claim salvage in exactly the same way the salvage company intends to. Obviously it is reprehensible that some @rseholes have chosen to trash the odd bit of personal property that has been washed up, but that fact does not alter the rights of the vast majority of people that have chosen to recycle these goods quite legally.
As for the environmental aspects, the blame there lies squarely with the salvage company that chose to beach the vessel in Lyme Bay rather than pulling into Falmouth, presumably with at least the tacit approval of the authorities. People down here pay the highest water rates in the country (I pay more than £1K a year ffs!), and the reason is always put down to all the miles of coastline that have to be maintained. Taking that into consideration it is a bit rich of the authorities to try and prevent them from exercising their legal right to peacefully beachcomb. Another of our rights that will be whipped away amidst a smokescreen of unbalanced, unjustified, hysterical, and disingenuous media reporting!! Grrrrr!!
P.S. Anyone want to buy some slightly salty nappies or a motor bike?

There you go talking out of your arse again, nice to see normal service resumed. They can only claim salvage (as I said in my first reply here) if they report that they have done so and intend to return the property if asked. How does that equate to selling it on ebay.
Common thieves.
You may be right with the rest of your rant.
I am not qualified to give the above advice!
