[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4412679, member: 110226"]In addition, people living in poverty and in war zones are not inclined to report their finds to the authorities, and are very likely to sell their finds to the most readily available source of cash. These fishermen in Gaza are desperately trying to support their families in the midst of war and blockade. I think this situation includes any location of the world where war, poverty and chaos prevail. Also, during the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, I saw a story of looters going through the Iraq Museum who were using lists of items to be stolen, something obviously planned well in advance.
