Troopers: Alaska theft suspect left behind wallet

[January 07, 2011]  FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) -- A suspect in the theft of an all-terrain vehicle trailer left Alaska State Troopers with a big clue to his identity -- his wallet.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports troopers were called to a North Pole home Saturday after the trailer went missing.

The owner said she found a wallet in the snow next to where the trailer had been parked. Troopers then went to the address listed on identification in the wallet. They say there was no sign of the suspect, but they found the black trailer in plain view.

Authorities say an arrest warrant has been issued for the 24-year-old suspect, a Fairbanks man.
