BREAK INS!

[peecee]

I was burgled when i moved out here in 2007.  Luckily my dog, who sleeps in the house, alerted me to someone being there (but she is going deaf now!!) and they did scarper.  But they got in the house.

They aren't the prettiest things around but I did have bars put on all the lower windows/doors.  Better to be safe than sorry.

I live on the Cameli road where 6 houses where 'done' a few weeks ago.   No neighbous to speak of, very quiet.  I'm sure they looked and thought 'too much hassle'.

Hope the meeting is productive tonight Glenda, if I can be of any assistance on our return in August put my name down. Also as the topic seems to be heading on self defence I remember the Chief of Police stating that you are lawfully allowed to use pepper spray against intruders, this was in reply to incidents in Ovacik burglaries and reported in Land of Lights, when a simular meeting was attended by the local Mayor and Chief of Police, not sure what interaction has been made with the local mayor and senior police officer on this but may be worth some form of contact re this issue and on their response to the problems.

Thanks to those of you who attended last nights meeting, a special thanks to Mets at the Winehouse for arranging for the Mayor and other local businessmen to come along. Hopefully we have managed to put our concerns across in a firm but positive manner.

The information we received from them as to the steps they plan to put in place is encouraging. However, because of the nature of some of the information given to us, it would not be prudent to publish it on an open forum as you never know who might be reading it.

For Uzumlu residents and holiday home owners wishing to know more detsil, please contact me by e-mail.

Thanks for arranging it, Dinger.  When we have the follow-up meeting, maybe we should all email and phone other residents of Uzumlu to let them know of the meeting.  I hope lack of communication was the reason for a cosy turn out last night.

Unfortunately the break-ins are continuing.
In the early hours of this morning there was an attempted break-in at the villa behind us. The people staying there must have scared them off by putting lots of lights on when they heard someone trying to get in!
However, the villa across from us was not so fortunate and the people staying there were burgled while they slept.

So sorry to hear that ... we got the impression from the Jandarma that the thieves had been caught. It could of course be different people doing it.  Were these incidents reported to the Jandarma?

I am trying to arrange another meeting with the Mayor for later this month and really hope as many residents / holiday home owners as possible will attend so he knows for certain that we are looking for some answers as to why we appear to be no further forward.

Hi Dinger, yes a report has been made to the Jandarma.
Please let us know when the meeting with the Mayor is going to be, thanks.

Hi any more about this new bout of breakins?
Its worrying not only for people there, but people back in britain.

[Woodies]

Please be advised, that the break-ins continue, with two properties on the Olive Garden complex, being burgled sometime last night. The usual property of wallets, cash, ipods etc, with the addition of tv's, were stolen, and the Jandarma have taken details from the owners.
The break-ins again occured in the hours of darkness, with the owners being in occupation, but unfortunately, no sounds were heard. These scumbags at this burglary forced downstairs windows with a screwdriver, or similar object, and made their entry through these windows. Please inform your friends, neighbours to buy additional lock protection, for these windows, patio doors, as this seems to be their favoured point of entry.

Assuming these windows open inwards, why not place something, empty efes bottle, on the inner sill so if they are forced open the object will fall to the floor and smash or make enough noise to scare them off, I would assume if they saw the object they wouldn't try.

Failing that get window grills fitted!
