Thomo Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Isn't that the same VW bus that tried to Rob Crown Cycles a couple of nights agoWhen I read "concrete slab", I thought Crown Cycles not imagining that the vehicle would turn out to be the same.Really hope they get hold of all involved.!
Hairy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 E-Bikes evidently being targeted....The e-bikes were always in the entrance to the store on a usual trading day
babse Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 The e-bikes were always in the entrance to the store on a usual trading dayYou seem to know the setup of the store well... Where were you last night?
Hairy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Not much has changed.... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/104610-carte-blanche-tv/page-1
Hairy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 You seem to know the setup of the store well... Where were you last night?.............. in my garage working on my bike ... I have proof on a WA group thankfully
MajG Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 The security company that helped me with recovering my bike after was involved. He sends me pics and updates when they make a bust from time to time. Ive said it many times on here but they are legit. Fighting the good fight.Same van who hit crown cycles on Monday this week, or was crown a VW caddy and this seems like the Kimbo panel van

MORNE Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 This was a vw transporter. As he mentioned in that whatsapp, the vehicle has already been linked to a similar incident. Ill mention it to him regardless.Edit: Same van who hit crown cycles on Monday this week, or was crown a VW caddy and this seems like the Kimbo panel vanSorry i edited my post with new info, so i’ll just quote myself.Vw transporter
Hairy Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Looks like you broke it.when you replace the shifter and der with a better set and fit a new chain only to find out the two smaller cogs are worn out.
Meezo Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Can we get one of the suspects please... Let's torture him to find out where the bikes were going... Also if there's a dual crown kenevo that's maybe not wanting to be recovered

Same, who buys an ebike without a charger .... And with all the electronic ID details in these ebikes ..... Spez CAN trace these units when the next owner brings it in for a service ! We really need the dealers to expose a few buyers of these stolen goods .... sadly it is bargain hunters that keep this theft industry going ....

Grass Muncher Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Those are e-bikes, the burglars were doing everyone a favor. ????
