On Sunday night, in North Yorkshire, England, thieves broke into a storage unit and drove off with a refrigerated van, filled with 2,500 pies. Now, the chef who made those pies is appealing to the thieves to summon some holiday spirit and donate them to a local community center,

I know you’re a criminal, but maybe just do something nice because it’s Christmas,” said British chef Tommy Banks, after thieves stole a van full of pies.

A Michelin-starred chef called on the thieves who stole his van, along with 2,500 meat pies inside it, to embrace the holiday spirit.
