A Johnston, R.I., man who allegedly stole power tools, auto parts and a Harley Davidson motorcycle and hid them in a self-storage unit turned himself in to local police last week. Orlando Valentin, 33, was caught after police traced the motorcycle’s LoJack anti-theft device to his unit at Forum Self Storage.
 
After tracing the LoJack signal to the storage facility and securing a search warrant, police found the motorcycle as well as a large assortment of power tools, construction equipment and automobile parts in a unit rented to the name Victor Ramos. When detectives visited Ramos’ address, they were turned away by a man identifying himself as Valentin. After viewing the storage facility’s surveillance footage, it was discovered that Valentin was the unit’s real renter.
 
Valentin turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Detectives are attempting to match the items in his unit to their owners through recent break-in reports.
