I haven't done anything to prepare for that.

Mark admitted, “No, I haven’t prepared for this.” Thinking fast, he retrieved a small device from his car—a vibration sensor. He placed it on the catfish’s back, explaining that the sensor would detect water disturbances and send alerts to his car’s computer. The officers asked how this would help. Mark explained that sensors had been set up around the lake. If the thieves returned to dump more stolen goods, the sensors would reveal their location. Mark and the authorities put their plan into action.
All the jewels were removed.
Mark carefully removed all the diamonds and precious stones from the fish’s mouth, then released the animal safely back into the water. That night, the sensors detected a surge of vibrations in the lake. Mark and an officer waited in their car, walkie-talkies ready, while more than fifty police officers surrounded the area. At 1:52 a.m., a major disturbance was reported on the northwest shore. Officers rushed to the coordinates and quickly apprehended the suspects, recovering the rest of the stolen goods. Mark was honored by the mayor as an outstanding citizen, and his incredible story spread far and wide. The humble fisherman who recovered over $54 million from the depths became a local legend, all thanks to the world’s largest freshwater fish. It was truly an unforgettable adventure!
