                   Who needs a 40K Euro watch anyway?!

In Istanbul, businessman M.B. (41) put his Audemars Piguet watch, 
valued at 40,000 Euros, up for sale on the internet.  A caller wanting
to buy the watch asked M.B. to bring the watch to his office in the
Fatih neighborhood so he could examine it before purchase. 

Last Friday, M.B. went to the address in Fatih and the supposed 
customer said that he wanted to look at the watch in the back room 
of his office.  Others in the office left with one excuse or another,
leaving M.B. alone.  When he looked in the back room and saw 
no one there he realized he had been hoodwinked. (!)

Police reviewed camera footage and determined that the hoodwinker
was Selahattin Z. (47), who was taken into custody.  Four others who
had a hand in the theft were also arrested: Murat Ç. (25), Gökhan B.
(30), Cansu Ş. (26) and Mirsap B. (30).  Selahattin Z. has a police
record of 36 previous crimes (!).  The watch was returned to M.B.
