Well of course most probably aren't going to do it, but then they are stealing. But under salvage law they aren't breaking the law by just taking the stuff from the beach.

The law was originally put in place to encourage people to salvage so the stuff isn't lost and also to help clean up the cargo. However if they don't file a claim on it, then they are breaking the law and stealing.
