Trashy Posted January 23 Share This is absolutely insane. I hope those responsible are caught. I'm commenting so I can find this thread later. I often come across very suspicious adverts in the WC. Will post any I find. Cycle Lab and CWC, Rambo_Ren_77 and nonky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted January 24 Share I simply cannot understand the demand of bicycles (read theft). These are very simple machines that are inherently cheap. VolkAdik, DieselnDust, BuffsVintageBikes and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really sounds like an inside job. Stealing 22 bikes required some proper logistics just to get the goods away and stored.

BuffsVintageBikes Posted January 24 Share This is just more proof that syndicates are involved in the bike jackings and theft. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing... to transport 22 crated bikes ain't no small task... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The courier truck was hijacked in Milnerton oh wow. assume they have proper trackers so would know where the offload/transfer location was. I wonder why it is now CL trying to recover the bikes. seems like Courier company and their insurance should be doing the hard yards here. this is going to be hard to shift for what it's list value is in conventional channels https://cwcycles.co.za/product/1017645-bike-road-carb-orbea-orca-m10iltd-pwr-my22?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAh8OtBhCQARIsAIkWb68Z3ZvCIZOVQviO_7SfQuvcIqvXOGWRf26Rri6m6oCWkJ9Ga3x5ztUaAiLWEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted January 24 Share I doubt these bikes will come into the local market, If this is a syndicate as others seem to think, then they will be shipped out of the country and sold Nickyr and BuffsVintageBikes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy Posted January 24 Share Good grief.. this is not local small business, this sounds like a syndicate, who move stock outside our borders. it smells of an inside job, a huge shipment of phones worth millions was once hit ( huge truck) a few years back and I spoke to the guys who Handle the security, it was found that these guys do everything… from phones to bikes etc. All items are kept stored in safe haven secure estates and shipped to new owners. Our wonderful police need to step up and start following leads that go beyond SA! BuffsVintageBikes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
