Being a North Carolinian I couldn’t resist mentioning this. I always find it fascinating when cargo containers fall off ships, causing whatever they were transporting to either sink to the bottom of the ocean or float until it meets land. We saw it years ago with the rubber ducky tests which oceanographers used to track ocean currents, and we’ve all heard of everything from cars to Nike’s being washed overboard on the high seas. This time a cargo container carrying a shipment of Doritos brand chips fell off of a ship and cracked open, leading to hundreds of bags of Doritos to float freely through the Atlantic Ocean. The container, along with the Doritos washed up on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, with most of the Doritos packages still in-tact thanks to the airtight packaging. What followed was a minor small-time news storm, as scavengers descended upon the cheesy goodness, the media swarmed into to film those filling shopping bags full of chips while a handful of scrooges gave interviews complaining about the American way and stealing and season of giving, but everyone is taking and blah blah blah.

Actually, taking washed up cargo from the beach is absolutely legal. The shipping companies are fully insured and it is illegal for the original owners to reclaim the lost product once it leaves the ship. It would be insurance fraud. Plus the items in most cases are not resalable, especially food. Would you buy a car that had washed up in a shipping container…however, if it was free…
Several years ago a container washed up that had multiple items in it and one of those items was a brand new BMW motor cycle…this issue was brought up then. I learned through that story that it is “finders, keepers”. Besides with all that media, don’t you think the law would be there writing citations!???

I really loved this post. You explain this topic very well. Integrity is the most important element of the car buying procedure, and your dealers practice should be reflective of that – simple, straightforward, and apparent. They should provide a clear alternative to customary transaction oriented dealership outlets, deciding instead to build their business one relationship at a time. They should request you to discover their collection of extraordinary vehicles that are meticulously inspected, professionally serviced and detailed, and come with flawless history reports. You should find a friendly and informed staff that is glad to assist with any aspect of your hunt for the ideal vehicle. This is how most dealerships continue to prosper, one relationship at a time, by exceeding client expectations every step of the way.
