Stellenbosch Bike Thief - Red Ford Bakkie

[Boozman]

On Sunday the 4th of August 2013 a bike was stolen off the back of our car right outside the SPAR there by Idas Valley in Stellenbosch at around 12:00 whilst the place was packed.

When I asked the car guard who said "ek sal mooi kyk my lanie" before we went in he claimed that is not his section and another car guard is responsible for that area - 20 m from where he was standing - JOKE.

Anyway , luckily a family saw what happened and chased the guy down and get the bike back.

Some other guy approached me and said that a Red Bakkie dropped the thief off and then said "where must I pick you up".

I then took a drive down Banghoek street from the spar to see if I can see something. I found them sitting by BP in Merriman there on the PnP centre side.

When I drove towards the bakkie the guy who was standing next to the car saw me approaching and then started ducking behind the vehicle to hide away. When I stopped behind the Bakkie and wanted to get out he ran towards the PnP centre which looked like Durban on New Years day.

I then took my phone out and snapped some pics whilst the driver swore at me and what not.

So be on the lookout for an old red Ford bakkie similair to the old Mazda Drifter with a car Reg CL36593.

 

When i went to the police station to tell them that the bakkie is parked there by the PnP centre and if they can send a Van with me so I can show them. They told me that our Tax money is all currently occupied in Kyamandi and when the vans come back they have to be washed first before they can go out again. I mean how can you get angry at that?

Contact hellen zille publicly. She is a cyclist, and if this matter is raised publicly, I am sure she will pay it some attention

[P.A.K.]

You don't perhaps have another pic where you can see his face clearly?

Is this the same bike theft as posted on the weekend or were there two in Stellies on the day?? I think I saw the other was at 2.30?

Send Crimeline the details. Likely will add to a bigger investigation and will get to the right people rather than over the counter which looks like an isolated incident which basically was resolved anyway.

This is BS, a mate of mine bike also got stolen off his bike rack and it was padlocked, they walked up, cut the lock and gone. There was a guy in the parking lot as well, but he apparently saw nothing. It's a Giant anthem X1, white, if anybody knows or can help, please let me know. We were parked by the blue-orange

 

Thanks

Saw nothing my ass... Was probably him who notified the thieves of the bike's arrival in the 1st place.

We should get back to....."they prowl the empty streets at night, waiting, in fast cars and on foot"!!!!!!!!! ...... nowadays they prowl the empty streets at night in search of some Kentucky!!!!!!!

The police in Stellies are useless, same as the ones in Gordon's Bay. They are probably mates of the perps anyway. A few weeks ago the Spur in GB was robbed at gunpoint, and the Spur is just over the road from the GB policestation.

That BP will have CCTV.
