Where: PArking lot in the school grounds at Paul Roos Gymnasium, during the last Spur Schools mtb event

Thanks for the background info. Really sorry to hear - that's quite a big potential knock in anybody's language.

Hi Flymango, sorry for the late reply, been running around trying to find my bike......

 

I was guilty of being too trusting of my fellow man.

 

We were busy helping school kids at last Saturday's SPUR Schools XC mtb event at Paul Roos.

Bike was parked next to my bus all day. During the day there was constant movement with people and bikes around the parking lot. I would ride my bike to help kids, then leave it parked next to bus while watching the next event.

 

Bike disappeared during price giving, while we were celebrating our schools victory in the mixed category.

 

Obviously somebody disguised as a fellow cyclist walking around the parking lot, loaded the 3 unattended bikes and left.

 

Lesson, never leave your bikes unattended, even in a crowd. There are people amongst us that look like you and me, helping themselves at events to others bikes. VERY VERY expensive lesson learnt, as bikes were not insured. R100k out of my pocket.

 

Bad news.This really is a loud message to the rest of us to lock our bikes away when unattended.

There is def those amongst us who when given the opportunity will steal.Given the number of bikes being stolen there really needs to be a proper investigation into who is buying them either whole or the parts.Not pointing any fingers but the amount of wheels,parts etc we see nowadays on the classifieds is too good to be true.When we had our bike shop we often had guys pulling in with a bike to sell.They were turned away
