TheV Posted May 6, 2012 Share That's not cool - the carpark always seemed rather safe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted May 6, 2012 Share This is really not good. I hope that this will be seen to, some response from Van Gaalens on here would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooky Posted May 6, 2012 Share Yesterday when we went, we were told that 5 cars had been broken into the night before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted May 6, 2012 Share While it certainly is not pleasant I think you have to treat any car park anywhere in SA the same, i.e. don't leave anything of any value in the vehicle if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smolly Posted May 6, 2012 Share Can't we just shoot the ****ers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukep Posted May 6, 2012 Share The real cause for concern is that the thieves will soon realize that bikes are worth more than slops etc and start attacking the cyclists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusL Posted May 6, 2012 Share Surely not going to get any better with our friend Zuma pardoning about 1,000 criminals who will soon be roaming our streets again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-man Posted May 6, 2012 Share No you cant shoot them.. Theft at van gaalens is very unfortunate... but someone calling other human beings names is even worse..wake up!!!zuma can't change a thing.. we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted May 6, 2012 Share This is really not good. I hope that this will be seen to, some response from Van Gaalens on here would be nice. Here's an idea.... https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum/user/32304-victor-van-gaalen/ Have never had an issue myself and this is the first I've heard of anything like this at all. Knowing Eric and co at vG I'm sure they'd nip this in the bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted May 6, 2012 Share Quite a shocker. Lots of cars there today with the running. Ai. Nowhere is safe anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbite Posted May 7, 2012 Share Guys, if it's a venue that people are paying good money to ride at, then there should be some element of security. It's not like we are parking the cars in a field in the middle of no where.This needs to be looked at and dealt with immediately, and I am willing to help with something if need be. I know Kozin offered to stand car guard while we ride... Thanks buddy. The Ghost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted May 7, 2012 Share Guys I think this was purely opportunistic, the incident took place on the Friday night when the guard is off duty. In day time hours there is a guard taking money and indicating parking, and there has never been an issue. Still be safe vigilant...don't leave phones / wallets in clear view in the car anyhow.
