Exactly Suec, I could not agree more. Once our homes have become like mini Fort Knoxes, then what?  The suggestion that the purpetrators of these burglaries come from the village, is direct from the local Jandarma themselves. The reasons we chose to live in Turkey are no doubt varied, but I would bet that value for money, and peaceful existence come near the top of everyones list. The bottom line is that these burglars NEED to be caught, and that will require the help and assistance of everyone.

Kevin I only made the comment about the policeman as some times another pair of eyes can spot things we can't.

Has this become a forum to slag each other off ??????

My security grills and security doors were properly fitted, with no screw heads to undo. Obviously i dont wish to advertise how they got in, suffice to say that they did. By the way, my neighbour is a retired policeman.

He hardly slagged anyone off! You gave your thoughts and he gave his. Hence "forum".

Woodies.I am SURE you do'nt quite understand!!.You've suggested "spreading the word around".Local businesses "need to understand".Your assumption that "local businesses" know who it is but are'nt saying.If they are not local they are from another part of Turkey!!Your "reward scheme".(you missed out dead or alive.)I'm waiting for you to start picking the lynch mob.Lankys threatened boycott of Uzumlu businesses and his knowledge of "corrupt officialdom".The general assumption that the thieves are Turkish.YOU are guests in THEIR country.Uzumlu was thriving centuries before YOU and YOUR MONEY arrived.Do'nt be so bloody insulting to thousands of locals who make most visitors welcome.Turkish members have to read your threats and insults.

Kevin, i would like to know if you have been burgled. Myself and others who have, have been have been through a very upsetting experiance. It has changed our perception of Uzumlu sadly. Uzumlu was not thriving before the influx of foreigners, just ask to see the butchers ledger of unpaid bills. Now he has a very good supermarket in the village. We do not want to insult the locals, we just want to get Uzulu back to what it was when we fell in love with it.Have looked into lynch mobs, and unfortunatly they are illegal.

Well Kevin, now we are getting down to the nitty gritty.I have never once said the burglars are Turkish, only that the Jandarma believe them to be from the village. That does'nt for one minute make them Turkish, I am merely quoting the Jandarma. The suggestion of a reward scheme was first sponsored by a retired British CID officer, who stated their great success in the UK. No mention has ever been made of a 'lynch mob' merely your imagination running wild. The mention of local businesses getting involved so as not to hurt their business in the future, was muted by a local business man himself. I only wish for no other individuals to suffer further burglaries due to these scumbags, but if it is to be that complacency rules, then so be it. Just look at the escalation of burglaries and robberies in Spain, where people have secured their properties as Firo suggested, only to be robbed and burglared at knifepoint, because access to their properties is now too awkward. Once AGAIN, the bottom line is these toerags need to be caught, if YOU can think of any way to assist the Jandarma, so that this village reputation is not hurt any further, please let us ALL know, rather than coming on here 'rubbishing' others suggestions,(Twinkle01), to prevent/capture those responsible.
