Gallaudet University in the Washington, D.C. is a school for the deaf. It's been around for a century and a half, so many of the old buildings look like what you might expect on a college campus. But that's changing. Architects are redesigning the campus to optimize the architecture for the sensory experiences of deaf people. This approach to design is called "DeafSpace."
Some are fairly straightforward, such as classrooms with desks arranged in a U-shape so that everyone can see each other at the same time. Others are less intuitive to those of us who can hear. For example, if two deaf people wish to walk and talk, they need an optimal distance between each other so that they can see each other's signs. This means building wider hallways. It also means building ramps instead of stairs so that users can look at each other instead of constantly watching their footing.
You can learn more about DeafSpace from Derrick Behm of Gallaudet University in this video by Vox.

Oh, it's just hiding ...
I'm sure the structure of the cucumbers could be examined, and different markers exclusive to their home patch could be identified, but frankly, who's going to spend that kind of money for testing.
No doubt, everyone knows everyone in the local pickle industry. Eventually, some stranger is going to show up with a big crop of cucumbers (or pickles) to sell and it's going to tip off the others. Police can come in ask for the paper trail and hopefully pin them down that way.
Unless the crooks are about to make a bunch of salad or relish...
He wants to do something so dastardly, so unpredictable, that it would leave Dr. Doofenshmirtz in shambles!

Can't touch this!
Always looking for a new way to go out and get pickled.
Once a neighborhood complains of diarrhea, ask them who they bought from.
Also those people will be deterred from buying black market produce.
