Not only criminals, but stupid too.

Those insurance detectives are sharp hey! I knew a bloke who tried to dodge the high insurance payments on his son's car by claiming it was his. After a fender bender and subsequent claim the insurance detectives staked out the son's place of work, went to the business next door and asked if the son drove that car everyday...busted.

If only we had the same quality detective work in SAPS #wishfulthinking.

It says the Bikes were nicked in Grassy Park Cape Town and tracked to Limpopo

The Bicycles were reported stolen at the Grassy Park Police Station in the Western Cape by the suspect’s father.

 

The above is from article buddy

Maybe he left for the tour without informing his dad.. If only they filed a missing person report..

in my previous job I worked with offenders, one such man was a senior citizen from Camps Bay who suffered a burglary. He done the insurance thing and one of the items was a R140k Rolex watch. The insurance caught him out. How? simple, when they went to the house for an assessment or something, he had the Rolex on his arm. Apart from the Fraud charge, they also had to charge him for being stupid.

The good ones end up in corporate, where they get paid what they deserve.

And for the rest of us it is more like: end up in corporate where they get what they deserve...

Fark if it was me I would still be on the course. You gonna be in *** when you finish. Rather just keep riding .

Like Jesse in Fast and Furious?? Lol

[Neverfit]

Honestly hope the athlete were not party to this fraud. Can not see any sponsors knocking down your door if you were part of this. Even guilty-by-association might put a relative new career path out of reach.

Guess all will become clearer in the next few weeks.
