HI Guy's just a quick note regarding Marula sun Parking
I've been parking at both Marula and Police station for almost 20 years now.
Seen most of the boys grow up around us and always contributed to them for loading or not even loading my bike over the years.
Sadly to report as I have had items removed from my bakkie of late at Marula Sun.
Upon investigation many people have had the same problem and even lost GPS, tie down, sunglasses etc.
I have taken it up with Ben and crew at Marula in the first week of DEC as the previous sat my Usb stick , R200 and sunglasses went missing, the USB was a brand new one,as I had loaded music on the night before and listened too on my way to Marula that morning , when I drove out of marula sun the Usb was missing as My radio defaulted to the FM function.
In hind sight I should have stopped and queried it then but thought it possibly came loose in the cubie and would check when i get home. When home the reality was it was missing the R200 and my Oakley sunglasses as well.
Ben and crew said they had caught the guy called Steven with the dreadlocks and will return all my items taken .
Apparently this was the same guy chased away from the police station from stealing out of vehicles. Im not sure!
Again in Jan 2021 I was promised that my items which they named will be returned, Including a USB stick stolen out my cubie.
As I was avoided by Ben and crew this sat at Marula It was clear i was never getting anything back and they had just brushed off this issue.
I think its just fair I give every one a heads up to be careful and not to be so trusting regardless of how long you have known the guys helping you.
Personally as I told the Security manager at Marula, there is NO need for anyone to help load bikes as we man handle them all alone on mountains in de wildt anyway .
We are just giving charity to the guys that we have known for many years, But for me this stops now and I won't be assisting them financially anymore!
Many other riders in a few groups I ride with have agreed and they will also not be assisting going forward, some of these guys have even taken them with to the roof and races many times. No one wants this dishonesty among us.
I feel the trust has been broken and that the whole situation of avoiding me on sat says it all.
The place is starting to look better and there was even a Lunch truck making borrie rolls and chips on sat so things are looking up.
I will gladly pay for parking and for the Marula sun security to look after our vehicles.
This is my 2 cents and experience and everyone is welcome to do as they please, Just be warned and Don't complain later when it happens to you.
Cheers and be safe out there
