Help a bro find a pit

[MidTexHorn 822]

Some jerks stole my brother in law's mobile BBQ pit which he handmade and modeled after Aaron Franklin's mobile pit. Needless to say, we are all really pissed. The smoker was stolen Monday night from the Ben White/S. Congress area by the dudes in the security pic. They removed their license plate to avoid detection. I'll pony up for a free prime brisket smoked on this bad boy if you track it down for us.

You’ll give me a brisket if I track down a criminal and turn him over to you? What a deal!

That would be ideal, but if you see the dude and get a license plate number, address, good pics, whatever that helps us track 'em down, that's good enough. My meat will be yours.

Sorry to see this. Too many ass clowns running around.

Hope it turns up...but could be 500+ miles away at this point.

If you'll throw in that Yeti bucket, I'll take the case

[shnsajax 3591]

I'll keep an eye out in Idaho!

Is that a late 2000s/early '10s model Chevy Tahoe?

Throw in 2 sheets of plywood with the brisket and we have a deal.

I might have not parked it outside to prevent thievery.

Nice pit.  Hope that the thieves die in a grease fire.

Yeah. I believe it was fenced but not locked. It’s not a high traffic area so he didn’t think it would be an issue. Unfortunately he was wrong.

Looks like it. They pulled their plates off unfortunately so we can’t get a better ID.

The homeless camps under Ben White are really stepping up their BBQ game.

low traffic area means low likelihood of being seen in the act. Sorry for your loss

They only stole it for the bucket.  Probably left the smoker in some ditch near by.

This is bullshit.  Thieves can die.

Perpetrators look like a younger Mexican dude with one of those shitty mohawk mullet hybrids and the other guy looks like a fat old white trash guy that works at a bait shop in Rockport.

Both are net negatives to society and should be publicly caned for their thievery.

Yeah, that stinks.  But between the all black wheels on a 7-14 year old white Tahoe and the one guy's mullet/mohawk haircut, there's at least a few distinguishable things to keep an eye out for.

Hope you end up catching them.  Thieves suck.

[PantsTent 2002]

Have you check with John Mueler? He used to lose these on the regular.

[Angry Gorilla 1768]

This looks like an inside job.  Did your brother recently purchase any insurance policies on the pit?

Mixing in urine and feces with the wood is a lost art.

If you ever do find the thieves, I'll help you beat their asses. You don't even have to pay me in brisket for it.

 

[dcbc 14487]

Hope you find it.  This looks like the guy.

That is really too bad. FWIW, regardless if it was unlocked, that the thieves pulled into the area indicates perhaps a familiarity with the location. Keeping an eye out for the vehicle in that area during the daytime might yield some results. Whatever businesses are located in the immediate vicinity might provide an indication of who is traveling back and forth.

That brisket does have a little wang in it.

Some more details:

1) it was behind a locked gate. They cut the lock. 
2) My brother says in the video the guys look pretty meth-headish.

3) They rode up on bikes and cased the place, then brought the Tahoe over, cut the chain and grabbed the trailer  fortunately the Yeti was at my brothers place for the crawafish boil we had over the weekend.

4) Some sketchy looking dude on a bike was in the area today but a co-worker confronted him a bit too aggressively and he got away. May have just been a random homeless dude but the bike looked similar to one they saw in the video.
