Three years after being stolen from volunteer firefighters in Decatur County, Georgia, a homemade grill and smoker worth thousands of dollars was found at a Jamaican restaurant in Sarasota. Investigators from Georgia were able to eventually track down the grill to Florida and worked with Sarasota police to get it home. Investigator Terry Phillips with the Decatur County Sheriff's Office and Capt. Sam Hughes with Decatur County Fire & Rescue coordinated with Sarasota police Detective Dominic Harris to pick up the beloved smoker. They made the trek to retrieve it Wednesday. "That was quite a trip," Phillips said. "I am very surprised that we got it back." Decatur County Fire Chief Charlie McCann also can't believe the grill made its way back to his volunteers with the Mt. Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department.
