Stolen: Santa Cruz Tallboy 2010 (Cape Town)

Stolen: Santa Cruz Tallboy 2010
When: 31 March 2019
Where: Cape Town, Western Cape

Repost from earlier.

 

My bike was found advertised on Facebook & Gumtree on Wednesday (thank you fellow Hubbers for your support and all the phone calls/messages!!).

 

To cut a long story short, SAPS was unable to deploy any resources on short-notice when we had a chance to {potentially} exchange/arrest the suspects on Wednesday evening.

 

SAPS and Crime Prevention are still working the case so if you see the bike anywhere, please make contact with me.

Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section

So what are you really saying here?

[Puncture Kid]

SAPS useless. OP still without a bike a despite a chance getting it back. Now slimmer chance.

[THill44]

Should've gone on your own with some muscle, perps might have escaped but you might have your bike back

 

 

I know it could've gone both ways

Ya heading deep into Athlone to self-arrest these dudes was a bit hectic...am a cyclist and not an MMA fighter after all ;-) 

 

In hindsight, would have been ideal now that bike is long gone

Yoh you must be soooo frustrated. The lack of ability and for lack of a better word, K@K attitude of SAPS is pathetic. and we pay these people a salary.

ja sounds good in principle, until you take on experts at their own game!

 

also, if you're insured then it's not worth risking life and limb for the excess.

Absolutely agree. My brother's old business partner had a friend in a similar situation many years ago in Durban with a car.

 

He was shot dead before he even left his vehicle.
