Allrounder Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Stolen: Fuji Team SL 2007When: 13 May 2018Where: Cape Town, Western CapeSo This happened to me. A friend of a friend wanted to buy my bike, but will have the cash at the end of the month.As a favor to my friend "who is a guy as straight up as they get" I tell him that they can take the bike and pay me at the end of the month (1st of June) Over the last 18 days this guy went to the bank at least 4 times to make the deposit, and made about 6 appointments to meet me in person to hand over the cash. Never happened. My friend and I both tried to get the money and I even said he can bring the bike back to me, still nothing. When i notified him that I will be going to SAPS and report the case, he just said it is fine. I am going to SAPS after work with all our whatsapps and his telephone number. No I am without a bike, and my friend is sorry. And Aladin has a bike. (That is his name) The moral of thee story, dont trust your friends friends.Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section
Skylark Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Police will unfortunately not help because it is a civil matter and not criminal, perp probably knows that which is why you telling him that didn't phase him, dude sounds like a total pos. Hopefully your friend knows this guy well enough that you can go and locate him and get the bike, maybe beat some sense into him at the same time.
