Maggie,
Some estates also think it is fair game to sell  to the trade because they 'own the land' Nearby here there were 4 guys living in a caravan for a week filling sacks of snowdrops from a wood near here. All legit, but really pretty disgusting. Regularly there are adverts under the farming section of the local paper offering to buy snowdrops.

In my experience- as an observer-the daylight robberies are usually performed by ladies of a certain age carrying nail scissors and handbags of a certain size.
...no doubt on a diet of eggs and spinach!
