                                     Blaming the victim.

In Antalya, unknown individuals stole a fur valued at 400 TL (about
80) off a mannequin in a store's showcase booth.  One of the
thieves lifted up the mannequin's dress and engaged in inappropriate
activity (!).

When store owner M.Ç. arrived at his shop in the morning and saw
that the fur had been stolen he informed police.  Fingerprints were
found on the mannequin and security camera footage revealed that
one of the thieves sexually harassed the mannequin.  M.Ç. lamented
that "the four guys first took the 400 TL fur off the mannequin and
then one of them lifted up the mannequin's dress and violated 'her'.
Because of the incident I can't look at this mannequin anymore and
I won't put 'her' on display again."  (!)
