When the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up over Texas there were many 'collectors' on the ground who pinched pieces of the wreckage. I understand the interest in collecting and keeping a broken component of something like the shuttle. But there were also some very dangerous and radioactive parts as well.
As for MH370, if the authorities were smart they would campaign around the islands where parts of her may, or may have already washed up, and offer locals cash rewards (maybe $20 or $50 per piece) if the piece is identified as that of MH370. It's a relatively small outlay as there won't be tens of thousands of pieces out there, but the information contained in not only those pieces but the detail on where and when they were found could be vital in plotting the area she crashed in.
Heaven forbid Australia is spending enough money already....hell, for $100 the fiscally dedicated super sleuth may even shave of his face rug!
