'What is "sandfish"?' The common name is sandfish, but there are many in the family of trichodontidae. The article is vague.^

Which is interesting as it implies sabotage.

Raising the questions:

Would this be sabotage by competitors?

Is it sabotage as part of standover tactics by criminals?

Could this be sabotage by both competitors and criminals contracted to sabotage?

Could this just be from disgruntled employees sabotaging over grievances?

One thing is certain, this is taking an unnecessarily long time to solve if video evidence is available.

---> Which loops back to the - questions raised.

It could be clever being careful cooking anything from the Daiei supermarket in Sapporo

What is "sandfish"?

Hundreds of similar cases occur every year in Japan.

Thanks, Frungy.

Seriously, what is wrong with some people?

Pardon the pun, but finding the culprit will be like finding a "needle in a hay stack".
