Bike thefts in Cape Town

[SyncSA]

There is a Murray Williams listed on Linkedin as a Chief Reporter. Limited connections though, so not something to go on.

 

Hopefully he is just reporting on something else and is really one of the good guys.

Yup, OP is indeed Chief Reporter of Cape Argus.

Here is an opportunity to get the pandemic of Bicycle Thefts / Hijackings highlighted, and this is how some of the Hubbers responds.

 

Poor form Guys, poor form.

Murray is a respected environmental reporter, who also happens to be a very keen outdoorsman. Nice guy; did a job or few with him years back.

 

He happens to be in quite a senior position at the one of the major English title Cape dailies.

 

Fantastically mature responses by some people regarding what is in fact a terrifying issue for bike owners at the moment.

Im not doubting that, i promise. Im glad someone if actually willing to give cyclists a mention. I suppose Yo ..is a bit more personable that,

 

Dear Sirs,

We just made a joke about the intro - will be sending him info! perhaps we should get a representiative that has more first hand knowledge of incidents? I have only read about it here but no first hand experience (fortuntely)

Yours sounds like a Nigerian 419 scam.

Think he's quite well known in journo circles seeing that he's done some good articles...

If someone can help with decreasing bicycle theft in any way I feel we should rather support him(regardless of the manner he or she adresses anyone)

Yo ho ho!

 

Did you ever see the Italian film "Bicycle Thieves" (1948) - got to be one of the saddest films ever made.

Thanks XTC1 ... tune your cuzz to sharpen up on the grammar. Kief.

 

Come on ... his intro was bound to receive some flak.

I know Murray well ... he is a respected journo and has an interest in outdoor sports (he has also covered the Epic a few times for Argus -- and other events such as Wines 2 Whales).

 

I know how he was alerted to the story and you can trust him ... give him a call and it will probably help all cyclists and help stop the "crime wave".
