Agree... there are leeches everywhere who will steal stuff just for the sake of stealing it.
Can't remember the laws on salvage in the UK, but suspect the govt spokewoman gave a clue.
If it was a matter of cargo being destroyed unless it was removed from the area, there may be a point in grabbing as much as possible and securing it - but doubt that is the case here. Keeping it is another matter - it's the property of others.
