Others believe the thief may simply be a prankster with a strange obsession with cucumbers. Whatever the reason, the missing cucumbers have cast a shadow over the summer garden season in Salt Lake City. Residents are now afraid to leave their cucumbers unattended, and many have expressed their frustrations on social media. The Salt Lake City Police Department is asking anyone with information about the missing cucumbers to contact them.
