Kevin3 - whoever you are- I don't think I have had the pleasure of meeting you. In answer to your question, I was a very nice person, that is, until I was ripped off for £100,000 by a Turk in Uzumlu. Needless to say after 8 long years pursuing justice through the Turkish court I finally got my tapu at considerable cost to myself. Needless to say I immediately put the place on the market because I absolutely hate the place. My family have said that they never want to go there so what is the point of keeping it. Thankfully the so and so that ripped me off got his just desserts and has now met his maker - they say that God pays debts without money and he did - divine retribution so to speak. But alas it has done me no good because I m still owed a substantial sum of money. Needless to sy it has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I have always done what I consider to be the right thing by the others on the complex - I have paid all insurance, maintenance, etc, etc despite having no tapu and not being legally required to do so. Have I ever felt like taking the law into my own hands- well yes, I guess so -but what good would it have done me had I stabbed the individual with a screwdriver. I would have lost my job working for the UK Government, I would have lost my home, my family and my freedom. And I would have been looking at 10 years + in a turkish prison. All I say is. I know the law is a bit of an ass, but we must let the judicial process take its slow course -8 years in My case in Turkey and needless to say sometimes I did become a little impatient. Did I take it out on my family and those closest to me - yes I did. Am I sorry for it - yes I am. But at the end of the day I did not take the law into my own hands and never once did I venture within 100 yards of the individual' s restaurant.
