I was reading on the Reuters website that a rare shark in a British aquarium was stolen.  The aquarium had a breeding pair of catsharks, the female had birthed six baby sharks earlier in the year.  Someone broke into the aquarium and stole the female.

Why on earth would someone steal a shark?  The police suspect that a ransom demand is forthcoming.  I wonder if this kind of shark is supposed to be some kind of rare Japanese delicacy and ended up on someones dinner plate!
