tubed Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Shane - wow! A real credit to the industry - hope you are well rewarded with plenty of support for the shop.
DJR Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Super news - wonderful to hear there are still cops willing to MOVE and get things DONE! Please make a point of telling the Mowbray station commander exactly who they were! Great one to Bowmans also!
Bat Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Good news, and yes a big thanks for Shane taking this risk, and then it seems there are some good Cops out there.
mrbaker Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Well done Shane. Now lets hold thumbs that your bikes dont get stolen again, by the cops this time. What a dumbass comment... The Police did a sterling job - Why not give praise where it is due?Well done to Shane - Good man :thumbup: ThaStig and Capricorn 2

Obviously you dont follow statistics. Yes the police did a sterling job in arresting the thieves. The bikes however are now in a police storage facility. Ever read about how things tend to go missing from police storage facilities. Obviously not, dumbass. Edited August 26, 2013 by Vetseun

Obviously not, dumbass. Easy guys. I've just returned from the Athlone police station with four of my five bikes. The black Titus RacerX is still missing, but I have it on good authority that it was disposed of before the police raid. At every step of this saga I have found the cops to be great - they really wanted to help, always phoned me when they said they would and were really concerned for me and my property. The bikes were returned in good condition, with just a few scratches.  Perhaps if we tried to work with the cops rather than just slag them we'd be better off all round? It seems to work in our area.

openmind Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 How come athlone saps?The arrests were made in their area, so the confiscated goods were taken to their station.
Meezo Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The arrests were made in their area, so the confiscated goods were taken to their station. Ok. Thanks.
Fast Forward Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Do a check with the investigator and prosecutor every 2 - 3 weeks in order for the case not to 'slip'.

Obviously not, dumbass.Buddy, your type of mindset is the reason why it will be tougher for us to sort out our country; failure to admit that between all the bad apples(perceived and real) in SAPS/govt/etc that there are those who actually take pride in their work. By not saluting the good you are just giving more power to the bad. Lets not p!ss on the OP's parade here; i.e. spoil his happy day he's found his bikes damm!t! Focus on the good, leave the pessimism to the statisticians Edited August 27, 2013 by ThaStig Skylark and mrbaker 2
