When I worked for a scrap metal recycler someone dumped a load of electronics and didn’t tell us there were EPIRBs in the mix. We found out when the cost guard, police, fire and ambulance turned up.

Dumped at the scrapyard… In a three-sided, concrete-walled bay in the yard, 30km from the nearest large body of water. I didn’t say anything about the ocean.

Nautical crackheads will strip beacons right off the waves. In broad daylight.
