This above is interesting though, this is not the normal trend of these scum, we've probably always saying this, but i reckon this was a completely isolated incident... that or these are how brave these scum are... to sell it on OLX the same night! ferk me... anyway keep mentioning and go to social media, try and go to papers to, like the goolam incident, make it known the make type and colour of bike, it will appear somewhere....
tpace Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Hello, yes thank you, stitched up and fine.Sorry about this incident. We heard about it.Is your hubby ok?
Prince Albert Cycles Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 The sale is void one can not sell something that does not belong to you . Husband can claim it from the " owner "
T-Bag68 Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Hi there tpace... So glad to her your hubby is on the mend... My brother was on the seen just after this horrendous incident happened, he called me, and i posted on here to get the word out as quick as possible. i also got it on twitter. I can't believe they openly sold it on OLX... There must be some way of tracing the process, getting contact numbers from buyer and SCUM ... lets hope someone here knows the process. Good luck and speedy recovery to your man. Glen

DIPSLICK Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I hope hubby heals up, seems it's the new way of jacking now, stab in the neck, no questions no struggle, bastids
Ferro Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I hope hubby heals up, seems it's the new way of jacking now, stab in the neck, no questions no struggle, bastids Stabbed twice in the neck. That is nothing other than deliberate intention to kill. As you say, no questions even asked. Really unsettling stuff.
Ferro Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Hello, yes thank you, stitched up and fine. Glad he is OK and I really hope he gets his bike back.
DIPSLICK Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 Stabbed twice in the neck. That is nothing other than deliberate intention to kill. As you say, no questions even asked. Really unsettling stuff.Said it before, answers in my mind if it's wise to carry while riding, one min you riding next min you lying in a pool of your own blood thinking WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED,,,then it hits you,,,,,oh yes I'm in SA riding a bike I've just been jacked,,,hope I see my family tonight,, Sorry for straying mini high jack, if I may ask what was the bike sold for??? ,,,,what is our lives worth???. I know you will be killed for a cell so I supposes the question is rhetorical
mikkelz Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 Kudos to the Table Mountain Watch account for pushing OLX hard on this topic:
mikkelz Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 They (OLX) are certainly not at fault here, but if their platform continues to (easily and without trace) get used to sell stolen goods then they need to act fast and make some changes.
