VP, you know that neighbours in Cyprus are fully aware of each other and their qualities.

you can dismiss this incident, but your cynicism is more revealing about your nature, as a person.

Its the truth, how do people know the theif was from Turkey? and was the GC a resident or someone who just happen to be at the right place at the wrong time. Would he of acted the same if he know the incident involved a TC and a Turk?

The GC probably was not aware that the theif and shop owner were TCs.

It's quite possible the GC knew the shop owner was a TC. Larnaca isn't that big. But it's only fair to assume he had no clue that the thief was a Turk until the police came and found out his identity.

Whether the GC had knowledge of the background of the shop owner or not has nothing to do with the act itself. This is purely an act of civil courage. This GC was a person who knows right from wrong. A person willing to take a risk to stop a crime in progress. If a person is brave enough to ignore the fact that the thief could be armed I don't think such a person would care about the ethnicity of the victim in question.

Shot yourself in the foot again?

Precisely why this was such a humanitarian act. The GC did not chase the thief because he wanted to get him, being a Turk ... the thief could have been GC for all he knew, yet he was not spared .... he was chased and caught for being a thief .... not because he was a Turk. That fact probably only came up later.

However, as Repulsewarrior has pointed out, the GC would most likely have known the regular shopkeeper was TC ... yet he still did him a favour catching the thief for him.

You viewpoints are shamefully immoral ....

turks and tcs in the north killing eachother, how long before war breaks out and you start war with yourselvs... tcs saying turkish troops out and turkey not budging not even allowing the cyprus flag trying to make a turkey number 2 in the north but failing miserably.

I am stiring again. What if the thief was a Pontian. They have Turkish passports.

Anyway, a criminal has been caught and hopefully he will be punished for his crime. Deprted only after he serves his time.

Now you sound VP-like (and I mean Viewpoint and not Vice Presidential) ... the moral of the story was that the ethnicity did not matter ... the GC was carrying out a heroic moral act. The fact that the thief turned out to be a Turk is matter for further contemplation however ...

I pity you (the loser of the poll) read my post again. I dont care what he was. A criminal got caught. Let him see justice. Period. You dont have to make a song and dance about it.

Still smarting at your hustings falling cold ...

DT. did not make a song and dance about the story (as you have often done when you think you have bitten on a real bad-GCs theme ... and then the truth follows ) ....

Yes a criminal got caught ... but one that should not have been on this Island and probably would not have been on this Island but for Turkey using and abusing him to fulfil her colonialist expansionist plans ... and he got caught by a GC ..

Aesop is uncontrollable tonight ...

Im sure if he know he was a Turk the GC would not have batted an eye lid.

He would have ran a mile screaming, "the Turks are coming" more likely.
