Spinnekop Posted September 26, 2012 Share On my door step. Road that exact road on Monday. Scary stuff! Glad he is OK and thank you for the warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niner Posted September 26, 2012 Share Glad he is ok.He should have let them take his phone.They can be traced as long as they keep the phone on.Do you want to tell me that anyone would do this? Who is going to trace the phone? By the time he MTN/CellC/Vodacom involved that phone has another sim card and I am yet to meet anyone who has got their phone back. You have to get a court order before any carrier will even think off tracing it, and it is not accurate.....honesly it ONLY happens in the movies.

We traced a laptop with a datasim the other day, we had someone who knew someone who got someone to get us the tracking.... even with the coords (which we had updated a few times) we couldn't find the thing. The only accurate way of finding a phone is via its gps, as with the iPhone/Android phones, and that's only if the "findmydroid",etc software is functional under whatever circumstances.

No it doesn'tCriminals are caught daily with the use of cell phones.Missing people are found daily with the use of cell phones.It can be done if the police are interested in finding the criminals.It's pretty accurate......just ask the guys serving 25 years at St Albuns Prison for robbery.

G-Unit Posted September 26, 2012 Share Thanks for the heads up. I've also been riding out there for years, without ever an incident. The time they are a changing, it seems. And not for the better... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Daemon_ Posted September 26, 2012 Share Sounds organised, which means there must be quite a demand for bikes/parts. So who is creating the demand?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingalton Posted September 26, 2012 Share That's it, packing the .45 now on my rides. Rode that road on Monday morning at dark o'clock ....the problem with that is; if they realise the guys are riding with guns, they will shoot before you get off your bike, they wont take the chance of getting shot..It wont stop the guys, it will make them more eager, they can get bikes, cell phones, guns etc from cyclists...

Beer4Recovery Posted September 26, 2012 Share SHITE! I did that loop the other day for the first time - lekker for training, but I was also alone, there were however a lot of other cyclists on the road as well - so I felt kinda safe. I wanted to do that loop again this coming weekend but I am not willing to take the risk. F****ng crime in this country is MAD! One of these days you won't be able to ride anywhere!! Now there goes another training route... :cursing: Edited September 26, 2012 by FuelEX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
