[-] Text [+] JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report on 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.

The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said.

South Africa is battling one of the world's highest crime rates which has prompted concerns that violence might mar the 2010 soccer World Cup, which the country is due to host.

A police spokesman could not immediately comment on the report. No one at Netcare 911 could be reached.

Imagine having your mouth glued shut, so you couldn't explain to the partner.....

That's f*cked up. Superglue? What if you have a blocked nose?
Could have killed him that. What's wrong with the trusty old hanky like in the cowboy films?

At least they didn't superglue his bollocks to the seat.

Holy Crap! I don't know if this is more of a scare story, a disturbing story or a funny story. It's amazing the stuff that some people will do - I mean who even thinks of supergluing someone, naked, to an exercise bike?
