RodTi Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 That blows! Good luck - and don't be averse to keeping an eye on the Hub - something might well show up...

Good luck dude! I cant believe that SAPS are so useless that there is a known seller of stoeln stuff and he continues to stay in business! FFS shut the b@stard down
gadget Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Ya, my friend "found" his 2 bikes at NW. He asked the owner if he has bikes of this description which he denied. He went to Cash Crusaders next door and could go right through to the back where he found his two bikes beings stripped (at NW). He did not involve the cops as the owner said he did not see the bikes come in and thought they were in for a service. In retrospect he should have involved the cops Edited July 11, 2011 by gadget
