Michigan (WiredPRNews.com) – Jackson police are looking for a homeless man accused of stealing a Thanksgiving Day turkey from the refrigerator of a woman who reportedly tried to help him. As reported by the Jackson Citizen Patriot, the man, described as bald, six feet tall, blued eyed, and 300 pounds in weight, broke into the apartment of Susan Sobiegray Tuesday taking the 13-pound bird.

Sobiegray is quoted in the report as stating of the theft, “He raided the fridge like it was gold in it… It was ridiculous. He threw all the food all over the kitchen floor, which wasn’t much.” She further stated, “My kids and I are by ourselves, and there is no one to help us… I feel really bad that I helped him to have him turn around and do this.”

The Sobiegray’s family was subsequently given a turkey and other grocery items by Brian Giroux, owner of Engineered Building Systems, who decided to help the woman after hearing of the theft.
