Insider trade on Splunk acquisition?

These are so easy to track and find out. Whoever did this, either doesn't knows about insider trading laws or is stupid enough to think they can outsmart SEC. SEC would make a good example of this person, whoever they are.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is done by a sibling or an uncle in another country.

Or, it's not insider trading but rather someone that observed a parking lot, that kind of research activity.

I’d like to know who is watching parking lots and spending 22k on a hunch

you mean, spending so little right? if they were wrong, the most likely outcome is they would have ended up roughly even.
