    The Law of the Sea doesn't apply. It's not a ship that is salvage as soon as it sinks. A property isn't abandoned simply because you can't access it.

    If I lock up my house and leave it for 20 years, and you break in and take the huge mound of diamonds I left in my closet safe, it is theft, not salvage, so long as I am still the owner of record of the house.

    Now, finding a relevant authority to prosecute the thief may be a little more difficult, but someone legally still owns that property and forcible entry to take stuff is still theft, if any semblance of law still exists anywhere.

    Like all the stuff the Nazis looted. Nobody was there to stop them at the time or to contest it until much, much later, but it wasn't "salvage".

    Point taken, probably just showing my age since Dawn of the Dead was one of my favorite movies from my formative years of movie watching.....

    Dude its a Zombie apocalypse Duh!

    Yeah salvage was not a good word for it, I still don't think Heist applies.

    Theft is the word.

    That's a good movie.

    Girl With All The Gifts
    REC, REC2

    I remember thinking Overlord looked cool (Nazi zombies, why the hell not?) but I've never seen it. Speaking of Nazi zombies: Dead Snow

    Speaking of heists....

    Overlord is pretty enjoyable, I've seen it twice and enjoyed it both times, I think it's currently on Hulu.....

    Love the first two REC films but have an affinity for Rec 3: Genesis which is less serious but lots of fun....

    I love zombie movies and I haven't seen Rec. I plan to correct that.

    Overlord was just meh, IMO. It had JJ Abrams and PG-13 written all over it (even though it was R-rated).

    Looks great! I'm becoming a Bautista fan.

    Zach is a great music video maker.

    It's dunny that Zac Snyder's career was saved because someone made his crap movie even crappier, thus elevating his crap into a new light. Career saved. Genius.

    I was certain Snyder wasn't the first one to come up with it.

    Think it will be good because he has lots of source material, he just has to make it look cool. Same type of work he did with Dawn of the Dead, basically, and that was solid entertainment. Think it will be decent.

    Snyder is not a sell out charlatan like Micheal Bay. He's a woke artiste who reinvents and nails the source materiale with his extended shots and curated soundtracks!

    There’s nary a week that passes where, in some corner of Texas, someone isn’t getting up to something that we can only describe as “antics.” Sometimes these take place in a small town, under the cover of darkness, and the rest of us learn about them only because somebody’s cousin blabbed to somebody else. Other times, city folk are the ones engaging in such hijinks. The headlines from these stories capture our attention and captivate our imaginations. In Meanwhile, in Texas, we explore the genuine weirdness that our fellow Texans often engage in.

    Nope, sorry, no zombies. But do start using your imagination for non-zombie heist shenanigans.
