Police, customs authorities, and the Receiver of Wrecks have warned beachcombers not to eat the bananas or to take them home.

This is the only mention in the linked article.

    People online don't always seem to realise that the Daily Mail is considered THE worst newspaper publication, in the entire UK. It's the sort of thing you wouldn't pick up to line your floor for a new dog.

    I feel like the daily mail is worse. People know the star is full of shit, so don't take it seriously. Whereas some people seem to have a perception of the daily mail that it's somewhat reputable newspaper.

    I mean at a fundamental level, it probably is illegal. I don't imagine the original owner stops owning a thing because it fell off the side of a boat, so I'd imagine it's theft or some seafaring equivalent.

    Is anyone going to get punished for picking up a banana that's fallen off the side of a boat? I fucking doubt it.
