Grand theft pumpkin

NBC News reports

Thousands of dollars' worth of pumpkin seeds were pilfered directly from the source on Sunday when a person or persons unknown cut a hole into a 1,400-pound pumpkin at MarketBar at the San Francisco Ferry Building.

This afternoon I was able to confirm that story by walking to the scene of the crime and snapping this picture:

The hole isn't visible here as it's about 3/4 of the way around on the lower left side.

How do these giant pumpkin contests detect cheating? I could make a pumpkin a lot heavier by injecting water into it.
