A fish farmer in China had the misfortune of having his fish fall off his truck mid-journey on a highway—and the greater misfortune of having his misplaced fish almost immediately stolen by other drivers, a phenomenon that is commonplace in China.

According to a report by Chutian City Daily, Mr. Lu and his son were driving a truck with a thousand pounds of live grass carp in boxes of water on Erguang Expressway in Hubei province, northwest China on March 24 when suddenly, the boxes broke. Mr. Lu only discovered that his fish had fallen out after he had traveled another 1.2 miles, and immediately told his son to take the next highway exit to head back for the fish.

When your kids asked how you got the fish, are you going to tell them that you robbed an old fish farmer?
