MTB_Roadie Posted June 21, 2011 Share I think you must add a item there 'Know someone who got robbed' cause there is a lot of people who don't even use thehub, to get a more specific number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honkdonk Posted June 21, 2011 Share I got the same mail from Carte Blanche and have replied For those who dont think there is a syndicate, read on My company phone is programmed to synchronize with our server at predetermined periods during the day and weekdays.I got jacked 3 weeks ago just off Summit rd - R562, by the same 4 guys that nathrix reported yesterday in the same area. they took my phone as wellWhoever took my phone (wether it be some arb dude who bought it for R100 or someone else) put his SIM in the phone and synched it intentionally (or not) at 02h30 - after hours!The next day all his contacts appeared in my Outlook folder on my laptopThe names are mostly of Muslim persuassion, there is a few international numbers of places in Lahore and then one called Boss Digest that for a sec. I will meet with Carte Blanch for sure to see if we can get deeper into this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathrix Posted June 21, 2011 Share I think you must add a item there 'Know someone who got robbed' cause there is a lot of people who don't even use thehub, to get a more specific number Limited to 10 choices only. If you know of someone, ask them kindly to submit their story and perhaps post something here on the hub, it will take only 5 minutes of their time to register and vote or even post a reply. I want people to be aware and a solution should be debated. If we have to read in future of someone being shot or stabbed to death or maimed for live or even just obtained a scratch just for their bicycle, mobile phone, etc. it will be on my conscious that I did not go out of my way and used all resources available to make the cycling community aware.

AndreZA Posted June 21, 2011 Share so 15% of all bikes stolen is nothing to worry about? If 15% of all air travellers died all planes would have been grounded indefinitly. This poll does not indicate that 15% of cycling community have been robbed, only 15% of those on here and who decided answer. It's like asking on a motorbike forum who drives over the speed limit with their superbikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB_Roadie Posted June 21, 2011 Share thats awesome! I think the sync was by mistake, cause some sync as soon as it gets new contacts, just change the email password so he can use your email adres for scamming or finding relatives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like asking on a motorbike forum who drives over the speed limit with their superbikes. Mampara let me say this again NO **** SHERLOCK. Read the above posts, and no there is no way we will ever get a proper percentage since not all bikes are registered on a database and reported stolen on a database. It mere states that a crapload of people on the hub that saw this thread lost their bikes, yes more people could answer and the number might come down, and more people could answer and the percentage could go up. So can we all now stop hammering on about its not the entire bike community FFS we know this. What these figures suggest is that there is a major problem and its going to get worse, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honkdonk Posted June 21, 2011 Share The Star just called me. Picked up a Tweet from this morning. I am sick of this. I lay in bed last night thinking about this. I have not been back on a bike since and they have robbed me of something I love. I dont always have the time to get out to Teak, Van Gaalens and I refuse to be kept a prisoner, so make use of my local roads and footpaths. I will help where I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Thanks, but he didn't give it back, we took it back. @ DaveT, awesome that is a great leap forward :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarek.pski Posted June 21, 2011 Share If 999 people say NO, and one says YES....That one person being hi-jacked / robbed is one person too much in my opinion.... Edited June 21, 2011 by jarek.pski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firewolf Posted June 21, 2011 Share nice thread! a positive initiative. "evil flourishes when good men do nothing" in addition - I read that Table mountain have contracted something like 40 armed rangers to patrol the mountain and surrounds - then the next weekend I read of an increase in muggings and bike jacking - WTF?
