DJR Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Martin, I hope Karma will give them a good snotklap!Like i said back then!
ThePubSA Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Ta-da!!! Identified the Demo 8 at the police station this afternoon, after it was recovered. It's being held as evidence in the case against the f$%^ers who stole it, after they were arrested with this and another expensive bike in their possession. Both suspects currently in lock-up Going to be a wait to get it back (court date still to be set, etc), but worth it. The seatpost and seat's gone, and amusingly, the thieves added their own chain and padlock (clearly they didn't want their stolen bike stolen, haha!) but otherwise it's still in acceptable condition.Good to hear ,Nice 1
LazyTrailRider Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) How are known culprits not in prison or a hole in the ground?????????? correct me if I'm wrong here but I think that's the ONLY red demo in Cape Town. It's one of probably 3 in the whole country. Oh, but they *are* in prison, in Pollsmoor apparently It's the only red one I know of in SA, but I could be wrong. Can you elaborate on the lucky find at all, or is it a matter of the case still pending? Do you get the bike back and did they find the owner of the Spez? Lucky find for the police, they didn't want to provide all the details, but it sounded like they followed up on leads from more than one theft, and arrested two suspects. Unfortunately, they only had this and another bike in their possession at the time... My brother is the owner of the Spez, it was stolen from me on my property. Edited August 24, 2012 by MH for short

Good to know the cops are doing a sterling job in catching these bastards. On another note, my cousin has just given me a lead on the two bikes recently stolen from my mates in KZN, hopefully it's their bikes. Do the Police stations have opening times?

Ja that was Alex Bramley's bike which was sold to Chris Nixon who I'm guess your bro bought it from. Not many of those around.

Do the Police stations have opening times? Stations are open 24/7, but the officers who deal with evidence usually are only there within office hours. Unless you want to report a theft (which you can do at any hour as far as I know), they're the ones to speak to about stolen goods.
LazyTrailRider Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Nice one. Glad it's back. Ja that was Alex Bramley's bike which was sold to Chris Nixon who I'm guess your bro bought it from. Yep, spot on.
LazyTrailRider Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Good news folks, the bike was finally recovered from the police station this morning, after plenty of complaining and almost shouting. It turns out the investigating officer didn't fully know his rules, and after I demanded that we clarify it with a senior warrant officer, all was fine. Aaaargh! All's well that ends well though, the bike is back in safe hands RockCoach 1
