Atlanta DJ loses $15,000 in equipment after warehouse burglary

ATLANTA – Atlanta DJ loses $15,000 after scammers break into his Midtown storage unit. This happened at Extra Space Storage on Bishop Street, not far from Atlantic Station.

Police tell FOX 5 thieves burglarized several storage units at the facility.

Adam Horne thought his equipment would be secure.

“It’s advertised as safe,” Horne said.

Horne, a DJ known as “Blak Magic,” said he stopped by on May 1 to collect his equipment from his storage unit and made a disturbing discovery.

“Everything I’ve worked hard for over the last 15 years has been stolen,” Horne said. “I was devastated. They stole about $15,000 worth of DJ equipment. I had a shoe collection that was also stolen.”

The Atlanta Police Department released video from the warehouse dated April 23.

We could see a person coming out with a bag. Another fled with black plastic bags. Police believe the men were linked to the break-in at Horne’s unit.

Horne said management did not call him to tell him about the burglary.

“No one has ever contacted me to tell me my equipment was stolen,” Horne said.

An incident report states that Atlanta agent Asia Royal asked a manager why the tenant was not informed. According to the report, the principal said she “had a busy day and forgot to tell him.”

“I have to start my business again,” Horne said.

FOX 5 asked to speak with Extra Space Storage on camera.

Instead, a spokesperson sent the following statement:

“Security is a top priority for Extra Space Storage. We are currently evaluating our security systems to improve security at this site. We have recently added additional security measures and have focused special attention on this site to ensure we take care of our customers and their safety We will investigate the situation internally regarding customer notification Additionally, we will ask our management team to contact Adam Horne.
