The closest thing that popped up was a commercial burglary on the 28th of December.
The site doesn't give the full address, but the icon is right where American Suzuki is located.
Since that's the only commercial building in that area, it had to be them.
Anyone know what got nabbed from Suzuki last month?

.........still want that elusive mug shot confirmed so we can all see that scumbag!.
I had a similar, but much more weird experience and we got all our stuff back just down to pure luck, not a bike but a couple of vans full of plumbing tools, but that was one hell of a night, it involved an 18yr old girl theif who's father was police, a transvestite and a rather nasty gypsy family, now that was something you could definitely make a movie about.. lol. Thought i was going in the caravan to get chopped up at one point, but ended up with everything being returned, no comebacks, and that same night i met up with my old man for the first time in 12yrs, a surreal 24hrs for sure lol.
HOWEVER, my plan is to purchase a lock and keep it in the mechanic's backpack to slap on the disc brake or sprocket from now on, haha... fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me
I have not read anything of the other 10 (thousand) or so comments/pages since Sunday morning.
But I just read the interview with the rider (Akaydin- had to check how to spell it), what an awesome story! Not only for the recovery of the bike, but just his story of racing for the "dream" but also getting his life in order with a degree and an MBA. But he still continues to chase his dream of racing in the big show, so he makes it work with balancing his future with his desire to race SX while he is still young enough. Awesome story.
I am sure he did not ever wish for this stolen bike incident to happen, but the publicity generated from it happening has made a new fan in me. I have seen his name many times in results, but didn't know or think much about it. After knowing his "story" I am a new fan, and will be watching (and cheering) for him in his future races!

Seems to me a public neutering would be a reasonable penalty for this POS. And think of the impact it would have on future ripoffs. I see it as a win-win!
Pit Row
If this is not his first theft, and we are yet to find that out, I wonder if the moto community might shed some light on other thefts he may have been involved with, and who bought the stolen property from him.
We have a guy whom seems to be a fairly decent citizen....Private pilot, good piece of land, nice house. I mean other than going through a divorce (which is more common than not), this guy seemed to have a pretty decent spot in life.
What would make a guy like that act so brazen to steal a bike from a F'n SX race?
I mean based off the counterfeit pass, one would assume it was premeditated....but if so, why not be more prepared? Why not rent a van? Or even bring fricken tie downs for god sake?
100 to1 if that bike was tied down properly in the back of a truck, biro probably wouldn't have even noticed it and snapped a picture.
In my opinion, this guy just lost his marbles.....Its not an excuse, I hate thieves more than anything (my house was robbed 3 times growing up). I think this guy needs to do a lot of hard time, but with nothing adding up, all signs point to a guy that lost his shit.
Anyways, thought over.
Then,hit the button and gone,he had to wait on a ktm or husky.
Brought tiedowns and ramp.
He should have found a tag off another white truck but,he figured his plan was sound.
I'd love to seen his face when the looking out the frontdoor at the cop.
Just glad the bike was returned. I'll be rooting Michael Saturday night.
As for the thief, that POS needs to regret the minute he decided to steal that bike. I too, hope to see the ugly mugshot of that earring wearing, soulpatch sellout, grizzled bastard. I agree its gotta be the same dude on FB. That's a rough looking age 47, man.
No sunscreen, no values.
On the day of his hearing, Feb. 8, if there IS a mugshot available, I invite everyone to join me in changing my profile pic to that of the pig who ruined the day of an innocent racing brother. Just for the day. This would be done in solidarity to get the image of the guy out there so that in the future he would be easily recognized at any event and proper measures would be taken.
I'd love to see the courtroom filled to capacity with people following this story. Somebody mentioned jury duty the same week, I hope he can get a look. Maybe find that white truck in the lot...
Also, I'm wondering if the barcode series on the fake pass can be traced back to the original holder at the A1 event. Find out if they have a connection to the dirty pig crook. And if and when his mugshot is released, why not put it up for display at every single pit gate? What happened to the photo ID press passes?
I was hoping that KCAL9 or any other local stations would have a news clip of what happened at A2 but...nothing. I hope the reputation of stephen robert allen is destroyed when what he did comes to public view.
Best of luck in 2016 and I'm PUMPED you got your ride back!
Looks like he needs some time to work on the plea bargain.

Many defense attorneys advertise that they once worked for the District Attorney or prosecutor. Jay Leiderman Law are proud to say they have never worked to incarcerate individuals accused of crimes, nor would they. Why would you hire someone who at one time worked hard to jail someone for the very crime for which you or your loved one is now being accused? Is that person one who believes in you and your case? Do they truly care about your rights? Did they care about them when they used to tell the judge to lock someone just like you up—to toss ‘em in jail? Hire someone that knows defense work inside and out, and believes in you, your rights, and your innocence.
....still would be nice to see a 100% mugshot.
