Stolen Giant Anthem X29 - Claremont / Harfield Village, Cape Town

[stringbean]

What is going on in Cape Town,just came from my lbs in Table View and heard they were robbed last night.Couple of giant anthems,specialized epics and stumpjumper ht.Watching the video feed guys were real pros,around 1 min in and out,knew what bikes they wanted and all.Shop has alarm,video and centre has gaurds,nothing helped.Guys who own bike shops,if you see some dodgy guys checking out your shop and stock be carefull.

The real problem here is there is obviously a buyer somewhere here in Cape Town for these bikes.I do believe the wheel turns and this will come back to him a 1000 times over.

Hi all

 

Please keep an eye out for a muddy blue and silver Giant Anthem X29 in Harfield Village in Cape Town. Was stolen around 7am on Friday 7 December.

 

Thank you so much!

 

Where in Harfield? Also keen to know how the theft happened. I'm in Harfield too....

I'm in Durham Street. Jumped over the wall and got into my shed where I store the bikes and pulled it over the wall.

There is a rumour of a cycle shop in Main Road down Plumstead way who has sold stolen bikes in the past. I don't know which shop it is though but I'm going to try found out.

No, be clever about it. Tell the guy you'll sell it on consignment. Phone the cops and owner and get the bike back to him. Then arrange for a sting op when the thief comes back they can nab him...or the owner can with his van full of guys in balaclavas...er hem.

Added a pic to my original post. Thanks so much for the interest. It was taken out my shed, a wooden structure which they broke into, and pulled over the wall. It was taken between 7am and 8:30am on Friday 7 December morning. I have tire marks on the wall where they pulled it over.

Unfortunately I understand he only keeps a select range of his bikes in the shop after having been caught with around 10 stolen bikes that I am aware of - the rest are stored in his garage out of the way of prying eyes (or so I've been told).

that shop must be called steals wheels
