scotty Posted February 1, 2012 Share Those are some expensive bikes, must have been a number of thugs to attack 3 bikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Ok. But has this foreign bicycle attrition thing been proved yet? Not sure, it is just a theory. Not many guys have been prosecuted if they have been caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drongo Posted February 1, 2012 Share Not sure, it is just a theory. Not many guys have been prosecuted if they have been caught. You mean generally, or for bicycle 'borrowing' in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannabe Posted February 1, 2012 Share Ok. But has this foreign bicycle attrition thing been proved yet?Too many Mozambicans possibly? The streets aren't paved in gold anymore The way I see it, most of the scumbags being caught for violent crimes these days, are Mozambicans. I know it is a generalisation, but that it is the impression I got. (and then most of them are youngsters. JuJu's "hired help" perhaps?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted February 1, 2012 Share You mean generally, or for bicycle 'borrowing' in particular? Both, and if they do, its likely a slap on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGuy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Is this Mooiplaas close to Erasmia? I have been chased around there before. Too close to Attridgeville. Erasmia police was not interested in my story. Sad to hear. Hope for speedy recovery. I do not go out on the bike anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagwil Posted February 1, 2012 Share I received this e-mail this morning. "Hi everyone Just thought I would let you know that P..... N.., his sons D.... and F.... were bike jacked yesterday in Raslouw near the chicken farm. I am not sure exactly where that is, but for those of you who might sometimes cycle in that area, please be alert. 3 bikes and cellphones taken. P..... is going in for surgery at 8 this morning to repair his arm that was broken (a rock was thrown at him) and to assess the damage. He might have to then have a second operation on Friday. Please keep him in your prayers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
