What a perfect summer crime...

Drive around to restaurants, and offer cut-rate prices on Chilean Sea Bass, for restaurants that still serve it (endangered species and all), and would deign to purchase it off the back of a truck. Of course, the weather has been hovering around the mid-90's, so the price might have gotten cheaper by the end of the week.

Chicago Sun-Times: Cops sniff out $100,000 in filched fish :

About $100,000 worth of Chilean sea bass -- along with the truck it was in -- that had been stolen from the Fulton Fish Market was recovered Sunday by Chicago Police officers who were working a burglary investigation.
The fish was on pallets in the refrigerated truck, said Wood District Capt. Richard Elmer. Elmer said district officers following tips on stolen vehicles wound up at a parking lot at 1946 W. Fulton, where the truck had been taken after it was stolen last Tuesday. There, burglars were transferring the fish into a smaller truck.
“All they would have to do is drive (around) and ask if someone wanted to buy fish,'' Elmer said. ”Word spread.''
