Good morning,

I have a question that I hope you will be able to assist with. 

We moved abroad to The Netherlands in July 2023.  I have a motorbike registered in SA and did not have time to sell it.  

The guy who usually repairs and services the motorbike offered to sell the motorbike on my behalf to which I was very grateful.  He found a buyer and we agreed to a price in August 2023.  Since then I have been following up on a regular basis, however the answer was always that the buyer will be making the final payment "next week".  Fast forward to last week Friday, I finally got a hold of the guy facilitating the sale of the bike. I told him that I am getting one of my friends to come and collect the motorbike to which he responded that he already gave the bike to the buyer in December (shocked).

I expressed my dissatisfation and told him that I need the Money in my account by COB tomorrow (Friday), and proof that the motorbike has been removed from my name.  The facilitator is now ignoring my messages and dodging my calls and I do not believe that I will be receiving the monies.  

My motorbike is still insured in SA and I wanted to know if it is possible to open a case of theft with SAPS whilst I am living abroad?

I look forward to receiving your response.
