A peeved Chick-fil-A restaurant in Cartersville, Georgia, is seeking justice for a theft of its property and is offering an unusual reward for leads.

On Sunday, Nov. 5, someone stole a catering van from the Chick-fil-A’s parking lot at around 9:45 p.m., the restaurant said.

Posting to Facebook, Chick-fil-A Cartersville says that anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of the individual will get what every chicken fan dreams of–free food for a year at Chick-fil-A.

The stolen van was later found in Acworth, Cobb County, after crashing into a parked car in a home’s driveway, according to Atlanta-based WSB-TV.
