The food truck community had been giving Dennis words of encouragement while police searched for his truck.

“We're supposed to be in competition with each other, but it's great to know they don't look at it like that. They look... at it like a human being who had something taken from them and deserves to have it back,” Dennis said.

There is no word on whether police have caught the thief.
