What compels hundreds of otherwise law-abiding people to descend on a beach and make off with a stash of seemingly useless plunder?
Steering wheels, seatbelt components, air bags, foreign language bibles - these are just some of the goods to have been carted off from Branscombe beach in Devon by scavengers.
While the morals of slipping away with a brand new BMW motorbike or a cask of wine are questionable, the logic is at least clear.

What would you do if you lived near this incident?
Take the loot? Volunteer your help with the clean up? Shop someone for looting?
