Sepia Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Shot Dirt. I would/will personally buy you a beer for what you have done. Storm 78 1
ChUkKy Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 It's a small world we live in - obviously way too small for the dumbass now sitting behind bars. Well done to DirtRyder for posting and Max it's awesome that you've got your ride back, oh, and to the SAPS guys - you've restored some faith in your abilities, well done That dumbass has probably been released on R250 bail and already flattened a streetwise 2 since the arrest DirtyFrank 1
maxgeb Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Just want to say a quick thanks to all. Going to follow this case all the way through the courts to see what happens. The chap they caught with my bike says he bought it for R600. But cops think he is a fence. Waiting to sell it to someone more expensive. But want to use this as a opportunity for us riders to understand who is buying our stolen bikes. Is this a syndicate? And how do we combat it? And use forums like this to be our eyes and ears? But again. Thanks all. It might be a Scott as some have said. But that bike had taken many places and very happy to have it back. Spoke101, Andrew Steer, mrbaker and 6 others 9
Pikey Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Awesome awesome result , a hubber being mindful enough to snap some quick pics and heh presto. A wrong has been righted. Sweet deal

Jigghead Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Shot Dirt. I would/will personally buy you a beer for what you have done. This guy keeps drinking all these beers, he's not going to be able to get on a bike! Maybe a few Steri Stumpies?
Patchelicious Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Where do all our high end bikes that get stolen end up? The community is only so big, and OLX, Gumtree, Hub "dodgy deals" are identified pretty quickly?
DIPSLICK Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Where do all our high end bikes that get stolen end up? The community is only so big, and OLX, Gumtree, Hub "dodgy deals" are identified pretty quickly?million dollar question, i spoke to a large transporter who runs to congo,zambia, he says the bikes go up north and from there to europe, i cant say i agree or disagree it doesnt sound likely but it would explain why they just go POOF GONE every now and then 1 bike appears and it is found, ive been to moz/zim there are not thousands of top end bikes floating around, again 1 or 2 but these bikes are not staying local or close cross border or we would have nailed at least 1 syndicate by now ??????????

Quincy Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 The sad reality is that the stolen bikes get sold to the average Jo we ride with for 5k because he cant afford a 50k bike... The "want" exceeds the moral conflict.
Quincy Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Well guys this is a good news story which shows the power of social media. I told the cops at Parkview about this post and they sent the investigating officer to the Engen petrol station. The manager there pointed out where the guy was with my bike. He was a hawker across the road. The cops phoned me back 15 minutes later to say they have my bike and have arrested the guy who had it. I have to say since they broke into my house the cops have been fantastic. But a big thanks DirtyRyder who spotted it. If we meet on the trails I will definitely buy you a couple of cold ones. I love Happy News like this but still get the feeling that I want to beat the Cr@p out of the guy!!!
Long Wheel Base Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 That dumbass has probably been released on R250 bail and already flattened a streetwise 2 since the arrestChukky, the dumbass shops at woolies. he's too cool for kfc. Although his bail may have been a streetwise 2? ChUkKy 1
