Two arrested on suspicion of stealing motorcycle, trying to sell it on Craigslist

Two men were arrested Sunday on suspicion of stealing a motorcycle after its owner spotted it for sale on Craigslist.

The motorcycle's owner had reported it stolen last summer but recently spotted it while browsing online, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. "He was probably looking for another motorcycle to replace his," he said.

In the ad, he spotted some damage from a past wreck on the bike that indicated it belonged to him, Lorenz said. He contacted police, who called the suspects, Jack Hoogasian, 32, and Garabed Koussayan, 24, who offered to sell and deliver the motorcycle, Lorenz said.

The pair was immediately arrested on suspicion of vehicle theft and receiving stolen property, Lorenz said.

If Jerry Brown wants to balance the budget, deport anyone that's not a citizen convicted of a crime. That should make people think twice as you won't just be back on OUR streets in a flash.

Jerry isn't going to deport anyone who might vote democrat.

No, deport and mandate e-verify for jobs period. Then all illegals who are working will have to leave and so will their kids. Have the US Supreme Court rule on the 14th Amendment on if you are born in the US with 2 illegal aliens does not make you a legal citizen. Read the 14th Amendment. Then deport all jailed illegals. You will then see California has wasted Billions, that is 10 zeros. Get rid of the unions as we know it. Get rid of the government cars for idiots to drive to work. They can drive their own cars like the rest of us. I bet Ca has thousands of cell phones not use that we pay for. Cut back on pork like 30 supervisors and one worker.

Armenians? I'm "shocked"

Super. Now if they'd make some arrests of the scumbags stealing 3rd row seats from big SUV's and selling them on CraigsList and eBay...
