The Stellenbosch police asked me to post something so here we go: I was going up Helshoogte today passing two guys walking in the shoulder. As I passed them at the start of the climb, the one guy grabbed at the back pocket of my shirt. The pocket tore and my phone fell on the ground which they grabbed and ran into Ida's valley trying to jump the outside walls twice. As they were running away I shouted at them: In the name of Jesus Christ, you will not steal my phone (please I don't want to turn this into a religious debate, I am just telling how it happened. I am a believer in the God who split the red sea, rescued Daniel from the lions, rescued the three guys from the fiery furnace, etc.) I decided to follow them and I went through the gravel part into Idas Valley on my road bike. As I came around the corner I saw them running across the road. Just then a police van came from the front which I immediately stopped. I pointed to the guys and told the police that they stole my phone. They tried to escape by jumping another wall at the back of someone's house, but I was really impressed by how quickly the policeman got his gun out and brought them back to place them in the back of the van. I had a quick look through the yard and found my phone (iphone 5s- over R10k in value) lying in the dirt, working perfectly, just one small scratch on the corner as a reminder:) I thank God for His protection! Kudos to police for their involvement and outstanding work! The guys went off to the station, the case is made.
