On 5-19-15 at approximately 1800 hours Deputies from Pixley Substation responded to a residence in the area of Highway 43 and Avenue 24 in Allensworth, CA.  Upon arrival they contacted the Reporting Party who said he left his residence on 5-18-15 @ 1200 hours and returned home on 5-19@ 1500 hours.  At that point, he discovered unknown suspects entered a locked storage shed by forcing doors open.  The suspects then stole a 1997 yellow Suzuki dirt bike, a red generator, two welders, and two electric saws.  The Reporting Party estimated his total loss to be $1,690, and said nobody had permission to enter the property.  During the investigation some evidence was found at the scene, and possibly belongs to the suspect(s).  However, their identities remain unknown at this time.
