Just want to say a quick thanks to all. Going to follow this case all the way through the courts to see what happens. The chap they caught with my bike says he bought it for R600. But cops think he is a fence. Waiting to sell it to someone more expensive. But want to use this as a opportunity for us riders to understand who is buying our stolen bikes. Is this a syndicate? And how do we combat it? And use forums like this to be our eyes and ears? But again. Thanks all. It might be a Scott as some have said. But that bike had taken many places and very happy to have it back.

Well guys this is a good news story which shows the power of social media. I told the cops at Parkview about this post and they sent the investigating officer to the Engen petrol station. The manager there pointed out where the guy was with my bike. He was a hawker across the road. The cops phoned me back 15 minutes later to say they have my bike and have arrested the guy who had it. I have to say since they broke into my house the cops have been fantastic. But a big thanks DirtyRyder who spotted it. If we meet on the trails I will definitely buy you a couple of cold ones.

That's my bike. Stolen on Saturday from my house. If you see it take it from him. It still has my name sticker on it.

That's my bike. It was stolen on Saturday from my house. Going there with the police as the guy is apparently a hawker across the road who has it. Will let you know the outcome. They haven't even bothered to take off my Epic sticker
