We had 2 Epics stolen in Stellenbosch a week ago. Locks cut. Off the bike rack. We weren't gone long. There was a 'car gaurd' in the street. Looked safe. Parked in the shade as I had 4 dogs in the canopy which must have barked like crazy. I have photos of the car gaurd. Another cyclist saw the thieves on our bike and took pictures. The town has CCTV camers. So photos don't help because the police don't help. I've not received a single call from SAPS yet. I however have tried 3 different numbers around over and over again, over a few days and nobody answered. Warrant Officer McGear is never there. So I sent an email with photos of the gaurd and thieves. No response to my email neither! ABC security was parked in the street when I arrived and saw the bikes gone. I went to speak to the guy. He got on his phone and did not even respond to my desperate plea for help. I tried to ask if he saw anything or if he could look around, radio other security but alas. He never even said a word to me. Ignored me. Maybe if you are with them you should look elsewhere. Anyway I followed my intuition and drove the streets to see if I could see them. I must have just missed them according to the photos I received and the direction they went. I went the correct way but didn't get them.
