The owner of Just Wings in Monroe, Ga. is offering free wings, once a week for a year, to anyone who helps him identify the people who allegedly stole cooking oil from his restaurant.
“Help me find this truck and you might get 10 wings, fries and a drink once a week for a year – a $728 value,” Mike Samson wrote on Just Wings Facebook page. He said he’d had his oil stolen four times in the last year. Restaurants sell their used oil to companies that process if for biofuels and other such products, so it is a financial loss to the restaurant. Video surveillance of a truck believed to be implicated in the theft is available below.
According to the Monroe Police Department incident report, this last instance happened on Aug. 7, 2016. The truck reportedly drove around to the back of the building sometime between 8:40 and 9 a.m. and backed up to the container that houses the cooking oil. A man and a woman got out, pried open the siphon port and then inserted a hose and began siphoning the oil from the container. Samson told police that the container was almost full at the time and that it holds about 200 gallons of used oil. The oil fetches somewhere between $2 and $2.25 a gallon.
If you see this truck and can help solve this case, you can contact the Monroe Police Department at 770-267-7576 – Case No. 1625892.
You could be the one feasting on wings once a week for the next year.
