Operation Swamp Stomp

Hi, I'm Fred! I was stolen a few months ago from the big city and threw in a bucket with my pals, I was later dumped into a larger pond where the thieves apparently attempted to prepare us for dinner by boiling me and the other hostages due to the lack of adequate shade. We are few, but we are survivors. A reward is being offered for information leading to the apprehension of the individuals suspected of grand theft fish.
