It was a rough 24 hours for leading barbecue practitioner Thomas Boemer. On Sunday afternoon, the chef and co-owner of Revival and Revival Smoked Meats discovered that his 3-year-old, custom-built portable smoker, which is roughly the size of an SUV, had been stolen from the parking lot of his former Corner Table restaurant in south Minneapolis.

They found it.
Would it be wrong to be disappointed that Ilan Ohmar wasn’t found in that smoker burnt to a crisp?
They smoked out the crooks.
After reading the story, the stolen smoker is the least of it. Thieves even stole the HVAC system off the roof! For a BBQ restaurant, the HVAC is probably massive.
I bet it was not that hard to sniff down
Many times, if you have something that is extremely heavy and bulky, you get sloppy about security. Who’s going to steal that?
Kinda hard to shift a HVAC systen this time of year in Minnysota.
Somolians with a truck?
Why was the Smoker abandoned in the alley?
Maybe that Smoker is so well known in that area, that the thieves could not sell it right away, or it would take too much work to break down. Sort of like a horse with a unique appearance being stolen.
Fwiw, my “hometown” LIONS CLUB had their HUGE & trailer mounted smoker stolen at Christmas 2 years ago - It was finally found near Tulsa OK. = It is made out of a 1500 pound PROPANE TANK & the chassis/axels/wheels of an 8x50 foot “junked” house trailer.
The person who was found with it claimed that he bought it for 500.oo cash.
The club got the BBQ pit back & thereafter LOCKED IT UP much more securely.

“They might not exactly be here when you get back, but it’s a blue Chevy two-door and it’ll be going south on Hertatto Street. No, I can’t make out the license number, but it’ll be pulling a small BBQ restaurant. So, any blue Chevy pulling a small BBQ restaurant, I’d figure that’d be the one.”
The travel restrictions made it hard to transport to the Carolinas.
2 1/2 hours later the police arrived. I believe ‘ol boys in Texas would have gone right in to retrieve their property, heavily armed, and ready.
In a poor attempt at humor, my son, an Army officer, told me; “You know Dad, I will be the guy knocking on your door to take your guns away.”
I’m surprised no one has stolen the ones behind our VFW , but they have the post # welded onto them
I was thinking about that today for some reason. I figure they're gonna put cops on a bonus system based on the amount guns they confiscate. With this covid 19 BS they'll dream up something to get past your door since Covid overrides the Constitution.
Go to the city and buy a couple of tire boots.
“They smoked out the crooks.”
Well, their fats in the fire now.
There are people here that have BBQ on trailers. One guy parks his in the parking lot of Advanced Auto and he is there Thursdays to Sundays. Great ribs he has...YUM...
And perhaps they then "diest by the stake and faggot."
