Chef Tommy Banks had his van stolen, containing $30,000 worth of pies. Despite being devastated, Banks appealed to the thieves to donate the pies to people in need. The refrigerated van was filled with 2,500 pies in various flavors. Banks urged the thieves to drop off the pies so they could feed people who are in need of a hot meal. He acknowledged that the chances of recovering the stolen pies were slim, but he hoped they could be used to help others. Banks also asked the public to report anyone offering pies with his branding that are not from him. He had a harsher message for the thieves, wishing they would not receive any presents for Christmas. Overall, Banks expressed his disappointment but remained hopeful that the stolen pies could be put to good use in helping those less fortunate during the holiday season.
