At last i think i have found the real reason behind the spate of breakins in Uzumlu. The other day i was in Fethiye shopping with my wife. We went into this quite large modern shop, and was served by a very polite young man. He spoke perfect English, and asked if we lived here, we said we lived in Uzumlu. He asked if we enjoyed living here, we said yes, except for all the burglaries we have been having. He had heard about this, and went on to explain the reason behind them. Apparently it is the fault of the Turkish government, who do not give them enough money when they are out of work, or do not set a high enough minimum wage when they are in work. Therefore these young men (or women) have no option but to rob people. This young man was very sincere, and believed what he was saying. Perhaps i could suggest that all budding burglars be sent to the UK, where the government there will throw money at them, leaving us in Uzumlu able to sleep safely in our beds.
