kgscott Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 We are all aware of the looting that has taken place in the past few days but I have just heard that my local bike shop (LBS) was looted on Monday. The shop has been stripped of every bike and component and the shop is just an empty shell. Please be on the lookout for suspicious looking items offered for sale on the various platforms and report to SAPS. Any other suggestions??? Wannabe 1
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Unfortunately, sometimes when a bargain is to be had people just don't care where it comes from. Like the motor vehicle industry, everyone bemoans hijackings but when you find that cheap headlight, seat, etc. that you need on FB Marketplace, do you really interrogate where it came from? nathrix and ChrisF 1 1

Post it and "red flag" these bikes. justinafrika and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2

Jewbacca Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Pretty sure the insurance companies who will own those bikes soon enough will be watching here and other market places closely. It's a thing ChrisF 1

It's a thing Wont it be NICE if you try to insure your bike and the insurance sends out the cops to come collect the bike they already covered in their claim from the LBS .... now if only the systems truly linked and worked to close the loop ....

kgscott Posted July 15, 2021 Author Posted July 15, 2021 Unfortunately I don’t have more info, the owner of the LBS might have but I am just putting it out there so Hubbers are aware. I will check with the owner Bicycle Yard WESTERN CAPE and ChrisF 1 1
