I dont mean to rain down on anyone's pissed off party here but I have a suggestion.
Would it be proper to wish the thief well? I know that what he did was wrong and all and I'm not condoning stealing ANYTHING!! All I'm saying is that, if we all got what we deserved we would have some butt rub all over us and be stuck in the big smoker in the sky...
This cat that stole your smoker, I say... Bless him and his family, wish him good times and great meals on a great unit. Ask the man upstairs that every time he cooks on it that he is reminded that there is a God that want's to forgive him.
Ya never know, at the end of the party, when it's all over, y'all may be sittin at the same table in heaven grabbin for the same rib. I’m my mind, that's what it's all about.
You got that smoker once, I'll be willing to bet that you'll get another...
Not telling y'all what to do an anything, just a suggestion...
You can say well, if it happed to you you'd be pissed to, well... It did happed to me, I had a $25,000.00 trailer stolen that had warmers, refers, chafing dishes, generators utensils - the whole 9... I was angry for about 6 min. Then I started laughing. What else was I gonna do... I prayed for the guy right there. Since then, My catering business has taken off, I won 1st place at a little contest and I am getting into doing festivals. I am glad that this person has it and I really do hope that they can benefit from it the way that I wanted to.
SO, there you have it, my .02 that turned into about $3.75
