Dave Marinoble isn't a guy you mess with. He teaches mixed martial arts at his Roseville gym -- and even trained UFC Fighter Urijah "The California Kid" Faber.But on Wednesday night, Marinoble's business took a hit below the belt."I had glass shattered at my front door," Marinoble said. "I said somebody broke into my school."When he went inside Marinoble’s Martial Arts, on Cirby Way, Marinoble found the cash register turned over and all the money gone at .And, the thief didn't stop there."Two katana blades -- which are like Samurai swords -- were missing and a special Balkan signed by martial arts instructors," Marinoble explained.The thief then snatched two MMA title belts, one belonging to Mike Bravo, another belonging to Faber."Give it back," Faber said, sending a message to the burglar. "There's a bunch of angry martial artists after you."The crook didn't realize there was a security camera grabbing stills of him during the burglary."Thanks to that (camera) right there, we got a nice clear shot of the guy," Marinoble said. "To come here and do that, it's almost like a slap you (in) the face, 'See what I did to you? You can't do anything back to me.'"Faber said the stolen belt is from one of his early cage fighting titles and isn't worth a lot of money. But in many ways, it's priceless to both fighters."That's a tough thing to lose," Marinoble said, pointing to his heart."It's a symbolic thing of hard work, dedication and lots of people's sweat and equity," Faber said.
