People will loot just about anything that isn't nailed down. Although i think most of the looting in the alienation zone was motivated by greed then by souvineer hunters. I've read or heard (probably on some documentary) that most everything of value in the zone has been looted already. Mostly anything that can be sold as scrap for profit. Electrical wiring, water heaters, etc.

One thing i've always wondered, is how much looting and tresspassing has been inspired by the stalker video game series. I love the game series, but in the back of my mind ive always had this niggeling thought that it's probably inspiring the wrong kind of behavior, in a place that should be left alone.
