In a peculiar burglary, two men stole 85 koi fish from the Oak House Restaurant in Yucaipa, California, which features a menagerie of exotic animals. The theft occurred early Saturday morning, with security footage capturing the suspects repeatedly hauling fish away in buckets. Restaurant owner Silvia Duarte expressed her disbelief over the incident, especially since the establishment also houses various antiques. While one suspect was arrested, the motivation behind the theft remains unclear, although each stolen koi could be worth between $50 and $1,500. Only a small number of stolen fish were recovered.
"How can you trust people now? We have antiques at the restaurant, we have classic cars. This is a unique place you don't see everywhere."
"Each fish, if sold, could have fetched $50 to $1,500, depending on the purchaser."
