Wiki either mistakenly changed the title from "Beach Theft" to "Sand theft" or doesn't understand the issue.

Sand theft is common. It's normally stolen by illegally dredging rivers.

Singapore 'stealing' sand from Asian countries has been systematically going on for years.

It's the same as theft of wood. Everywhere where there are corrupt government officials, it's organised crime, sometimes people die over it, and it's easy to go watch while having a beer.

Beach theft, which the wiki currently predominantly talks about is different.
