Thief Steals Woman’s Thanksgiving Turkey

Kansas City Woman Prays It Went To A Family In Need

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A woman returned from church Sunday to find that someone had stolen her frozen Thanksgiving turkey.

Satara Brown has a big holiday planned.

She can’t make it home to Ohio to be with her family, so she decided to invite more than a dozen people to her home to share the holiday with her.

“There are many families, children that maybe don’t have a place to go, and so I purchased a turkey, a ham and chitlins and sweet potatoes,” Brown said.

She had the turkey in the freezer in her garage. She said while she always kept the garage door down, she never bothered to lock the side door.

On her way home from church on Sunday, she picked up some chitlins, which she put in the freezer. Since the freezer was full of food, she said it wasn’t until she got back into her house that it dawned on her that something was wrong.

Brown said to herself, “You know, that was really easy to put the chitlins in the freezer. Why was it easy for me, where’s the turkey?”

When she looked around, she realized she was also missing a stadium chair. Brown said the thief left behind a lot more valuable items such as tools.

“But I did think it was funny that they only took the turkey and a chair and not all the other things that were in my garage. Like, they didn’t want my dessert?”

Brown said she has a good job. She could easily afford to replace the turkey, so she and her guests will still have a good Thanksgiving.

“It all worked out in the end, and whoever took the turkey, I pray it goes to a family that really needs one, but stealing is not the way,” Brown said.

She said she planned to lock her side garage door, just in case who ever stole the turkey decided they would also like the homemade lemon pie they left behind.
