Theft is illegal.  Leaving your door unlocked does not make it legal.

A significant part of the blame is with inept regulation, and inept
regulators (elected and otherwise).

Most of the owners of banks have been very severely punished.  The
value of the shares in them have declined by up to 90%.  OTOH, I
haven't seen many regulators, let alone MPS, being given the push (I
can think of only one in UK, off the cuff).

Why?  Those companies are not the ones dropping the litter.  If a
defunct washing machine is abandoned on the street corner, do you fine
its manufacturer, or the person who left it there?

When I was a university student, and plastic.

AFAIK, there is a significant difference between cleaning (for which
my employer and similar commissioned a service, which used a steam
pressure-jet,) and, well, let's say "sanitising", to make them safe
again for use in a food environment (which is needed after immersion
in a waterway and all the crud it may contain).  My employer found the
latter to be too expensive, and simply junked any carts returned from
the local river.  Even though these carts are not cheap.
