They don't take the oil they hold ship and crew for ransom and strip ship of anything else they can carry away. The Somalian government has no interest in dealing with as I'm sure they get paid off. I read the towns nearby are boom towns because of all the loot and money they get, so yea I guess no one there is complaining.I remember last year when I read a story about pirates. My first though was, "Cool! Pirates!" And then when my head cleared from my Johnny Depp fantasies I realized what a terrible thing it was.
But one thing confuses me and I asked DH about this last night. What do they do with ship full of oil? How do they get away with docking the ship and selling the stuff without getting caught? I guess that's why I'm not a pirate.

Exactly they could also be escorted by a few boats with big guns. How hard can that be?It just seems odd they don't protect the shipments a little better these days. Perhaps sailing in convoys for a while should be the norm.
