Cucumber heists baffle police

'Inside information': cucumber thefts baffle police

There have been 12 separate cucumber robberies during the past three months, the most recent involving 150 bags on Tuesday night.

Chief Inspector Kym Zander says detectives are working with the Adelaide Produce Market to try to solve the case.

"We're looking at the possibility that it may be a grower that's had a failed crop and he's substituting through theft, or it may be you know somebody that knows cucumbers are being grown, they're ready for picking, and they're taking the cucumbers and then selling at those weekend markets across the metro area of Adelaide," he said.

Inspector Zander says the thefts are challenging for investigators.

"It's certainly a unique theft and the volume is something that we're having difficulty establishing where they're going," he said.

"It's obvious or evident that it is somebody in the know to establish which glasshouse is growing cucumbers, tomatoes, etcetera.

"We find that the cucumbers are being picked, they're being either packed in bags or in buckets ready for the market the next morning and when the growers turn up with their vehicles the glasshouse is bare."

Truly a confusing cucumber conundrum!

Could it merely be someone with an overgrowth of dill, Vlassic, or is this the latest gambit of the International Jewish Conspiracy?

I'm sorry. I tried to get some cucumbers from the Farmer's Market in Thailand, but the trains just kept coming.

They didn't outlaw sex toys recently in your town like they did in Alabama. It would explain a lot.

You're not a big exciting city.

I should know. I come from one. That is a not big exciting city.

Is Ducks currently dating? If not, I may have a lead for the cops, here.

Maybe somebody saw that list of "reasons why a cucumber is better than a man" that's been floating around for decades, and didn't realize it was a joke.

This seems like a real dilly of a problem...

While I appreciate the pun, I'm guessing this is Cucum-Girl - given the escaping hair. And the fact they look like courgettes anyway
