More about the incident:

So This happened to me.  A friend of a friend wanted to buy my bike, but will have the cash at the end of the month.
As a favor to my friend "who is a guy as straight up as they get" I tell him that they can take the bike and pay me at the end of the month (1st of June)  Over the last 18 days this guy went to the bank at least 4 times to make the deposit, and made about 6 appointments to meet me in person to hand over the cash. Never happened.  My friend and I both tried to get the money and I even said he can bring the bike back to me, still nothing.  When i notified him that I will be going to SAPS and report the case, he just said it is fine. I am going to SAPS after work with all our whatsapps and his telephone number.  No I am without a bike, and my friend is sorry. And Aladin has a bike. (That is his name)  The moral of thee story, dont trust your friends friends.
