Yeah, a recovered stolen car is returned to the car-jacker. Ha ha. Too bad they couldn't just sink it again and say, "Hey, now you try to find it. Oh, and we're contacting both the Mexican and Peruvian governments. The one of you three with the biggest finder's fee will be the luckiest."

But I think the Spanish Navy (those pirates) put a destroyer next to the salvage ships some time ago, and have been “watching” them extremely closely ever since.
