According to the BBC, "hundreds of people have made off with" the valuable spoils of shipwreck at a beach in England. The abandoned cargo ship was left to be beached after its crew escaped during a storm, and some area folks managed to make off with goods like BMW motorcycles.

Apparently it pays to be near the beach in England in the dead of winter. The beach in question, Branscombe, is promoted by the local tourism industry as a romantic place to visit. Your time for beach looting may already be up, but lodging options in the area include the charming Mason Arms Hotel, where rooms start at £75 a night.
