What a story. To think that some regular Joe has claimed a brand new motorcycle makes me smile. I suspect that they won't be allowed to keep their booty though.

When I was in the Navy we would hope to come upon a freighter that the crew had abandoned so we could salvage it. Ofcourse the gov't would keep the lions share but each crewman would get a cut of it.

yea, i saw this on the news yesterday...the reporter said that it was perfectly legal as long as they report to the authorities what they "salvaged"

but i didn't like how about 5 mins of the story was on the free stuff that washed on the shore and what people were getting.... and about 5 seconds at the end about the tons of oil and fuel leaking into the ocean...
