Nettie R Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Merely speculating: the guy that picks up the bike at 51 sec on the tape, white face.As for they way they carry the bikes: they know how to handle a bike.Flame me, but black thieves hardly ever cover their faces and hands.Perhaps these guys are known by the shop.Anything Spez is pretty and expensive. They don't have to pick the goods. Or they staked out the place acting as customers. Will be helpful to view cctv to see who's been loitering.
Stevo9119 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Looks like it wasn't their first bike shop raid. Everyone in the video looks calm and knows what to go for.
Ispeed_V Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 This is just sickening. Hope these f___rs get caught.
carbon29er Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Across the border sold for R1000 Doubt it. Even though they stole Specialized bikes and Oakley glasses.... This job wasn't done to earn a team of guys R13k.
Skinnyone Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I also see the white faces... These dudes know exactly how to get to the bikes, where the Oakley cabinet was etc, they know how to handle bikes as well as they were rushing but at the same time being very careful... My gut says inside job, - Edited to save myself from a court case Watch out for the low mileage parts popping up in the classifieds soon...
Skinnyone Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Perhaps a huge inconvenience for the honest dudes out there trying to sell their stuff, but what if the mods here closed down the classifieds for parts at least, as I believe these bikes will get stripped and sold off as parts right under our noses. Once the frames have aged a bit they could be "upgraded" with different parts etc and sold on in a years time... if there is no market place to move stolen goods easily then I believe that incidents like this as well as bike jackings will decrease.

There are many platforms out there to sell goods on, or even get rid of them through friends etc

Not only do you make ridiculous accusations, which if it was me would definitely see you in court for defamation, then you go on to shut down the hub because 13 bikes were stolen. Why not go further and shut down every motor vehicle parts dealer in the country because 80,000 cars are stolen a year in SA. Or mobile phone repair businesses because phones get stolen. Maybe have your morning coffee and engage your brain.
Pure Savage Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Those bikes will be striped today, built onto more cannondale/Swift/Colnago/Dogma frames and be on sale in the classifieds next week. The frames will either be scrapped or resprayed in prior year colour schemes and sold as owner upgrading.
Mongoose! Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Our duty to keep an eye out, and not buy dodgy deals.... Guess we need a data base / list of the bikes stolen : colour ; size ; specs / groupsets / wheels ; serial numbers... apologies if it was already listed in previous posts
peds Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 2:30 in and out, clearly not their first time doing this!

Pure Savage Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Guess we need a data base / list of the bikes stolen : colour ; size ; specs / groupsets / wheels ; serial numbers... apologies if it was already listed in previous posts The hub already has this exact feature in the stolen section.

If you made it about me or my business, I wouldn't let it slide.... just saying.
carbon29er Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 ha ha ha... Maybe we should put him in charge of parliament, Shut the whole thing down till they can prove they can do the job properly!Shhh, don't tell Jacob that. Small step from today's bringing the army in to shut the place down.
