I’ll give you just one example of the vast difference in crime rates Dawn…

In the UK 99% of cars are fitted with alarms and immobilisers – if you don’t have one you’d lose it. In fact, I also had my two UK cars fitted with trackers in case they were stolen.

Here I don’t have alarms on my cars – car alarms are quite rare and it is unusual to hear them going off (it seemed to be a nightly chorus in the UK). I can leave my car in the garage forecourt with the engine running (I never bother to turn it off and nobody gets upset) while I go and pay for my diesel – I could never do that in the UK.

I’m not saying that there is no crime here – you can’t import so many foreigners without having a few bad ones – but overall it is significantly lower than in the UK.

By the way, punctuation has a ‘c’ in it, possess has four ‘s’ and until only one ‘l’. Nationality is spelt thus and it is traditional to capitalise the first letter of a country as in Cyprus. I’ll ignore the missing apostrophes...

i have lived here a year now and i can honestly say i have witnessed absolutely no crime, apart from road crime like idiots pulling wheelies with no helmet on powerful bikes etc etc.
theft seems to be non existent here, i do not feel any kind of worry regarding security.

unlike in did in the uk

Well Villa after living in one of the worst area's for street crime and car theft in the London area -- I've only been attacked once ( fortunatly they came out of it worse than me) and I've never had my car stolen .

I leave Cyprus for a few months and some bastard has nicked my car -- it was parked at my Cyprus home and had the ignition disabled .

So I'm not a happy bunny at the moment -- it was definatly stolen to order and picked up by truck probably for spares or a plate swap.

I don't believe it!

Actually, I lived in a very nice area – probably the reason that we were ‘chosen’ because we had a nice house and two new cars on the drive don’t you think? After all, there would be little point targeting a single mum on benefits living in a ghetto would there?

The fact that we worked 60-70 hours a week running our own business to be able to afford to live in a nice area meant nothing to the thieving scum that seem to have infected the UK. The industrial estate where our business was based was burgled so many times that we had to employ private security guards to look after it!

By the way, the owners of this site thoughtfully provide a spelling checker that you can use when you post.
