SAN FRANCISCO -- A scooter stolen from San Francisco's Make-A-Wish office that was autographed by Giants outfielder Hunter Pence has been found and three suspects have been arrested.
The scooter was returned to the Make-A-Wish Foundation on Thursday during a news conference at AT&T Park.

The San Francisco Police Department says 37-year-old Judd Janke, 35-year-old Jacques Manns and 26-year-old Nicholas Tiller were arrested in the case.
The department says the scooter was recovered Monday after beat officers recognized two of the men in a surveillance video.
Foundation spokeswoman Jen Wilson said Monday that surveillance cameras showed two men escaping with high-end backpacks, laptops, iPads and other items. The theft occurred Saturday night.
Wilson said the thieves destroyed a couple of door handles to access the office, which they ransacked.
"It's confusing to think that would happen," Pence said in Milwaukee before the Giants-Brewers game on Monday. "There's a lot to celebrate with Make-A-Wish. All the kids that they've changed lives for. It's pretty uplifting. You never know what may come of something like that. In the grand scheme of things, it's going to work itself out."
A foundation donor paid $40,000 at an auction for the scooter and dinner for four with Pence last year. The scooter was being stored at the office.
The nonprofit organization last year arranged 400 wishes for San Francisco Bay Area children with life-threatening medical conditions.
This was the second time the scooter has been stolen.
A few years ago, it was stolen outside a San Francisco restaurant and returned to police and then Pence.
