Flowta Posted June 17, 2009 Share There seems to be some gangs around the area. My girlfriends sisters garage got broken into a few weeks ago and 2 bikes taken. Luckily the cops down the road spotted a suspicious looking guy on a bike to big for him and nabbed him and they got their bikes back. But, early yesterday morning they tried again this time the bikes were luckily chained to a beam as the beams that she installed in the garden didn't pick up them at all. This was in Kirstenhof.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 17, 2009 Share yip - tried to take mine again last weekend. 4 of them chained up outside, with a 10mm braided steel cable and 2 rawl-bolted eye-plugs, which are then epoxied into the rawl bolt housings. the guys must've used something that can provide a HUGE amount of torque, because the eye-bolts were screwed free of the rawl bolt housing (yes, they were EPOXIED IN PLACE - not just screwed in!) and they tried to break the cable by twisting it. So much, in fact, that the cable is now irrepariably twisted. Needless to say, the bikes are now inside, and being moved to a different location which is a helluva lot harder to get to...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 17, 2009 Share But yeah, they are bad here... Every place has it's "phase" though. I remember up in Pinetown, where a mate of mine is chairman of a body corp for complexes - he had a constant stream of break-ins, for 6 months... then, they just stopped. moved along down the railroad...

flex Posted June 20, 2009 Share What kind of idiot steals a wheelset if hes not in to cycling? Im sick of crime fu*&%g had it!!!! A tik addict that will sell them to Cash converters for thier next fix. I had a mate whose car wheel was stolen off the car, which was parked behind a 12 foot wall. She found her car balancing on a pot plant!!! So it can be stolen and sold, they will take it... whatever it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
