I haven't done anything to prepare for that.

Mark admitted, “No, I have not prepared for something like this.” Thinking fast, he retrieved a small device from his car—a vibration sensor. Placing it on the catfish’s back, he explained that it would detect water disturbances and relay them to his car’s computer. The officers asked how that would help. Mark revealed that sensors had been installed around the lake. If the thieves returned to dump more loot, the sensors would pinpoint their location. Mark and the authorities set the plan in motion.
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 with 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, within minutes, apprehended the culprits and recovered 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 helped retrieve over $54 million from the depths became a local legend, thanks to the world’s largest freshwater fish. An unforgettable adventure indeed.
