Pleasure to be here. Never in my 20 years of detective work have I encountered a crime so pitiful.

Speaker 3: 1:11

Detective, let's smash right into it. What was your first clue?

Speaker 4: 1:17

Well, the first break came when we found a trail of avocado toast crumbs leading away from the festival grounds. A carb culprit.

Speaker 3: 1:24

Sounds like a classic rookie mistake.

Speaker 4: 1:27

Indeed. Upon further investigation, we found our suspect by following the scent of lemon juice and artisanal sea salt.

Speaker 3: 1:36

Sounds deliciously incriminating.

Back to the case, Detective Peel. What was the motive? Extra guac on their burrito. Avocado art heist. Some kind of seedy underground avocado matchmaking ring Hardly.

Speaker 4: 3:27

The thief, a Mr Gino Smalls, was an avocado-obsessed hipster who wanted to win the annual avocado sculpture contest by any means necessary.

Speaker 3: 3:38

So what you are saying is Gino Smalls was a smooth criminal.

Speaker 4: 3:43

But he had a soft spot. He left behind a ransom note demanding payment in. Can you guess?

Speaker 2: 3:50

Hmm, let me take a stab at it. Kale smoothies.

Speaker 3: 3:53

I would guess maybe fair trade coffee beans.

Speaker 4: 3:56

To my surprise, non-dairy, organic, gluten-free avocado ice cream.

Speaker 3: 4:02

The millennial's choice. Oh, the trope is strong with this one.

Speaker 2: 4:07

Detective Peel. Where's the perp now?

Speaker 4: 4:10

Locked up in cell number AVO01.

Speaker 2: 4:13

When life gives you lemons, you make an accomplice to an avocado. Heist Pay for it.
