Thanks for the link Nichola, anything which raises awareness of this growing problem can only be a good thing.
Like many others, I always felt very safe in Fethiye until last year when my friend was robbed at knife point in her own home by a thief who came in over the balcony. Thankfully in this instance the police took the crime seriously and he was eventually apprehended and sent to prison for 10 years. He, along with his look-out, had also committed several other burglaries and was charged and jailed separately on each count.
Now I am much more careful, especially if in on my own, if the balcony door is open I always close and lock the grill on the door when pottering about inside. Likewise if out on my own I try to be home before dark.
