Just who have I accused Kevin, please come on this forum and advise everyone, as you can easily see, I have made quite clear, it is the JANDARMA, that have said it is SOMEONE (no nationality involved) from this village. I have NEVER advocated boycotts of any business, merely repeated a local business mans words, in that if the burglaries continue, tourists will cease to visit, thus damaging THEIR businesses. As for talking daft, I and others have made suggestions to possibly resolve this problem (reward scheme and retired police views), you have suggested NOTHING, but negative comments to our ideas. If you do not agree with the Jandarma and this local business person, that is your perogative, but to suggest I am like a Colonial ruler, I merely think it is you, that needs your head examining. It is easy to come on a forum such as this and be negative. this ultimately leads to further negative remarks from both sides, which will not resolve this problem. As stated before, I would like to hear YOUR suggestions, to resolving this burglary situation, rather than being completely unsupportive of others ideas.
As an aside, I will in the next few days contact a number of insurance companies, which I would think would cover some of those burgled, to hear their views as to a possible resolution. Apart from beefing up our own security, you never know, they may suggest a reward scheme, God forbid!
