Bartow County Sheriff's Office investigators are looking to identify a man they say stole from the Cracker Barrel on Highway 20 in Cartersville.

Surveillance footage from the Nov. 30 incident shows the man, who went into the store about 11:46 a.m., picked up two pies and took them out to his truck, then came back into the restaurant and ate a meal, according to police. He left without paying for the meal or the pies and on his way out, grabbed a red, The University of Georgia rocking chair from the front porch. Cops say the man put it in his black pick-up truck before driving off.
