It's very tempting, isn't it, Colin? If you have a baby and there's a year's supply of Pampers bowling around - and it's pretty darn likely they'll never be sold as they're presumably now damaged stock, then yes, I would imagine I'd be down there with a trailer! And if you're a young bloke and see a cluster of gleaming BMW bikes, again possibly difficult now to sell retail as they may be salt-damaged, then... to me, I don't see a problem since there are going to be insurance claims whacked in for everything. It's not as if the folks were wreckers.

I liked the shot of the young guy arguing with the stoic Police - "You're going to give me a form to fill in, to say I'm taking the stuff? And then when I give you the form, you take the stuff off me? Come on, mate!"

I don't see it anywhere near like Lockerbie, though - it's not a human tragedy with the loss of hundreds of lives. It's just some material loss, and I don't see grabbing a bag of nappies the same as trying to eyeball body parts.

[QUOTE="krizon, post: 2101074, member: 64950"] It's very tempting, isn't it, Colin? If you have a baby and there's a year's supply of Pampers bowling around - and it's pretty darn likely they'll never be sold as they're presumably now damaged stock, then yes, I would imagine I'd be down there with a trailer! And if you're a young bloke and see a cluster of gleaming BMW bikes, again possibly difficult now to sell retail as they may be salt-damaged, then... to me, I don't see a problem since there are going to be insurance claims whacked in for everything. It's not as if the folks were wreckers. I liked the shot of the young guy arguing with the stoic Police - "You're going to give me a form to fill in, to say I'm taking the stuff? And then when I give you the form, you take the stuff off me? Come on, mate!" I don't see it anywhere near like Lockerbie, though - it's not a human tragedy with the loss of hundreds of lives. It's just some material loss, and I don't see grabbing a bag of nappies the same as trying to eyeball body parts. [/QUOTE]
