The “Goes around, comes around” department: Spanish worry someone is stealing their heritage

A U.S. company recently announced the discovery of roughly $500 million worth of gold coins in a sunken British warship. The Spanish, however, are suspicious that the ship (the British ship, but whatever) was located in Spanish waters:

The Spanish Civil Guard, on request from the government, is investigating whether the company could be charged with theft of Spanish heritage if the haul came from a ship found in Spanish waters….

Right. Theft of heritage in the form of gold. The Spanish would know something about that, wouldn’t they?
