MarcBurger Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Aw flipping unlucky man. It's crazy how well a fairly unique bike like that can duck under the radar unnoticed. Hope it finds its way home soon. I always considered that lot fairly safe in that there generally are always people around, including the "security" guy. These okes are getting way too comfortable.
King_Crispy Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 That's a *** one bud.Hope it's found soon
DoomedUser Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Seems like these Thule bike racks are quite useless and they don't come cheap. What's the use then if it's so easy to steal a bike off them?

Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes sectionI had mine stolen off my Thule Euro bike rack at the time there were 2 Thule clamps and both were locked.......??......WTH.......Those claws/clamps are useless. Maybe Thule, for the SA market should have them made out a cast iron aloy .. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Uni Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Serious question - each Thule lock has a number on it - what are the chances of having the same key. It can get really busy there, if it's lifted and taken off by a fellow cyclist - I imagine it would be hard for anyone to know if someone was legit or not. Good luck with getting your bike back.
Rushdee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 ..stolen from a Thule bike rack, again. Takes 5min of speed reading through the stolen bikes thread to know, with a very high degree of certainty, that a bike on a locked bike rack, Thule branded or other, is.... just.... not..... safe. Period.
