There could also be a monkey. He periodicaly steals fruit.

Maybe the fruit stand owner is a retired organ grinder and the monkey is a retired organ grinder's monkey. Eventually they determine that the frequency of organ grinder music repels the giant fruit flies.

Don't forget the grumpy but good hearted black guy in a position of authority over our protagonists who gives them a good cigar-chomping chewing out, replete with threats of suspending their vendor licenses.
