I don't expect dead bodies will be left around wearing perfectly good clothes and boots, much less watches and rings, and your attire might be just the right size for someone watching. If we were in a SHTF mode and I were to come across something useful and valuable "just lying around", I'd figure that it was placed there by someone with extremely bad intentions and a bullet would be in my head before I could move it two feet. I'd definitely leave it alone, and avoid the area.
"Looting" can be very hazardous to your health. In emergencies here in Texas, looters are shot, not just by law enforcement, but also by the population at large.
"baiting" an area to draw prey to you is the oldest ploy in the book, I too would be very wary.
