I haven't done anything to prepare for that.

“I had not prepared for this,” Mark admitted. He fetched a vibration sensor from his car and set it on the fish’s back, saying it would relay water disturbances to his car computer. Officers asked how. Sensors ringed the lake. If thieves returned to dump more items, they would be tracked. The plan launched at once.

All the jewels were removed.

Mark removed every stone and released the fish unharmed. That night sensors flagged a surge. Mark and an officer waited with radios while more than fifty police secured the area. At 1:52 a.m. a major disturbance appeared northwest. Officers swarmed, arrested the culprits, and recovered the rest. The mayor honored Mark, whose tale spread widely. The modest fisherman who helped retrieve over $54 million became a local legend thanks to the giant freshwater catch. An unforgettable saga.
