A container full of cigarettes has just washed up in Cornwall from this. The police are telling people to stay away...........Mind you even as an ex-smoker, I am not sure I would stoop as low as damp salty smokes...... :shock:

Somewhere in the depths of the Pacific lies the Container of Schwinn bicycles my boss ordered back in 1985. The guys at Schwinn said...

"It fell off the boat."

That is what most people thought the last time it happened in Cornwall. A container full of BMW motorbikes washed up along with quite a bit of other stuff. You can remove it, but the mistake most people made was not to report the find to the police. The property still belongs to the original owner. It is up to them whether they want it back or not.
