The way to do it is to be hostile to some of the indigenous NPCs.
Sit next to the wreck and when the NPCs shoot at you some of the shots hit the wreck and the wrecks then drop the cargo. Tractor in and off you go.
Hence no need to use a different Character each time.

Smart. Very. But sometimes you dont get NPCs in some remote places. therefore you need to make a new restart character to get it.

You obviously weren't
I obviously was since a restart happened while i was playing and there were only 10 people in game and no one in teh system that I was in. And also the bar health of the wreak was on full.
"Q: Can I loot a wreck twice with same char?
A: No. You can loot each wreck only once per char, so if you want to loot a wreck again (after a server restart), you'll have to do it on another char."
The real answer is, some wrecks.
Some wrecks can be looted repeatedly by the same character.
Others, namely the ones holding the more rare codies, can only be 'directly' looted once per character.
Having said that, St. Denis has a workaround which doesn't suck
