There can be little doubt that an unguarded shipwreck in shallow waters and within easy reach of the shore is exposed to the risk of being vandalised and/ or of being stripped or looted by criminal opportunists and, as such,
 any loss or damage thereby caused might be said to be foreseeable to someone who was aware of the existence of the shipwreck.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14354936

To impose a duty of care in such circumstances would tantamount to making police officers personal security providers and even insurers against foreseeable loss, and all this, on a mere phone call. True, the plaint
iff claims that the duty was voluntarily assumed but, in my opinion such an undertaking, even if voluntarily assumed or given, does not raise a special relationship of proximity, rather more, it is necessarily inherent in the duties that a police officer 
owes to the general public at large. This must be a further factor against imposing a duty in the given circumstances and I decline to do so.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid14354936
