Berry Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 If you're bike is not found within a couple hours its gone.we got one back and it was stripped within 2hours.
Cassie Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) So WHO buys these bikes from the smokkel huise? Surely you will still see these new bikes on the roads and wonder how the "owner" could afford the bike?? Just don't come ask such questoions here onthe 'ub...you get flamed for being racist, inconsiderate etc etc. (do a search on stolen bikes fred...). Some people apparently also "give " fancy bikes to their gardeners - it's not for us to wonder / ask why?? (Being quite synical here...) Edited June 9, 2013 by Cassie Sepia 1

Skylark Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Do people not chain their bikes to an immovable object?Even in a garage because a garage door is pretty useless securityIf I walk away from my bike no matter where either someone trustworthy I know is watching it or it's chained up, anywhere and everywhere.... And insurance, most household insurance covers bikes stolen from your home these days

These guys know their stuff and even if you did a very good job they sometimes proceed to beat your carbon frame with a brick out of spite. In my 1st year at Varsity my MTB was stolen the Saturday and my road bike the Tuesday, both chained with quality chains and locked in a solid lock up garage. Try to explain to insurance why 2 bikes go missing so soon after each other...the result was an instant premium hike. In my case I believe it was an inside job as the previous December they cleared out the bike shed at Res, stealing around 35 bikes!! When the care-taker at res saw that I no longer kept my bike in the bike garage his response was "You mos have insurance?". I believe the number of stolen bikes reported in Jan of 2010 was over 150 if I remember correctly. That's a lot of bikes being stolen for such a small town. Edited June 28, 2013 by Stefmyster
varkie Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I worked at a local bike shop in stellies for 2 years. One of my clients bought a 2012 spec stumpjumper carbon expert and was bikejacked 2 months later outside welgevonden gate. bike taken. He recovered it after a week after doing a manhunt and some investigative work. Also from cloetesville. (it is a network in there!!). Bike still in one piece. So shows you it is possible. Getting gatvol of this problem in our beautifull dorpie. Thanks for posting names!
