Was first reported 4 July, some 3 months ago!  Am sure they have been paid out by insurance and been riding another bike for a while.  Any sentimentality for this bike would have gone long time ago, so would not be surprised if they are not interested

Sure, but it’s their duty to atleast pass the info on to insurance so the bike can be confiscated. Otherwise the badguys won again.

I have reached out to her on instagram. She has told her investigating officer. 

 

I will have the police know as well. 

 

She does not use the hub much.

I actually have????, right when the info came to light yesterday.

 

I did not attack anyone. Don't be so quick to jump on your horse yourself lol.

She just let me know the info was passed on.

What is the purpose of posting on the hub if your bike was stolen? Is it to warn other people that bikes get stolen in an area?  In that case thank you but most people know that.  I would assume that you want people to be on the lookout for the bike with the small hope of the bike being spotted and the perp maybe getting caught.  Surely it is then a good idea that after you report it here as stolen that you might want to check every now and then and see if someone spotted it.  Or do they tell the investigating officer to keep an eye on the hub?

 

PS. Not attacking anyone or being sarcastic.  Just really want to know.

100% Agreed.

 

If the insurance co sends some peeps around to confiscate stock, maybe, just maybe these scum shops will second guess buying stolen goods.

 

Probably not tho.

In the first few days or week you post in the hope of getting your bike back I guess?

 

Once insurance has paid out and you have a new bike, you are probably no longer interested and move on, so unless you are a hub regular, you may not be on here again to check, why would you need to unless you did not have insurance, or had big sentimental reason on the bike and really wanted it back

Thats part of the reason why these jackings and thefts are skyrocketing imo...they know the complacent middleclass dont even care...they’ll just get a replacement. Vicious circle.

Screw that, i got my crap back because it’s mine.

its a principle thing.????

She might be able to buy it back from her insurnce for less than the price of a 2nd battery ....

Update: She has gotten the police to confiscate the police. It is also the insurance company property now, but at least there are now 2 less stolen bikes out there. 

 

Thanks to all the HUB PI's!  :clap:  :clap:

I'm just picturing everyone here sitting at their keyboards donning a sexy Tom Selleck moustache, or my favourite, a Nick Slaughter ponytail and open hawaiian shirt 

 

P.I. heaven!

Just look at how being persistent at doing the right thing realises a better outcome for all. Imagine we could extend this to other facets of society like... Driving

This is crazy...I live in milnerton. Drove past CC , bike was there still yesterday. Couple years back same thing came to light there, was a stolen santa cruz and some core drilling equipment they were selling that had company branding on it.

 

So ridiculous. Hope you all get case closed and CC takes some responsibility.
