Well This Explains Why...

Ken has been so quiet of late

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday.

SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take them to his home in Johannesburg.

“The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut,” SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for emergency services Netcare 911, as saying.

Ouch.

I hope the police get these creeps loctite in jail soon.

Yep. And if they do, as far as I'm concerned they can just cleave them there.

What if they can't make the charges stick?

Hmmmm.

Ahhh South Africa. Only place I know of where it's legal to mount a flamethrower as an anti-carjacking device.
