Çiçek Yurdakul, who stated that her psychology deteriorated after the incident, stated that she had a panic attack and carried her gold with her for fear of burglars breaking into her house, adding, “I went to the street market in the evening because there were missing items at home on Friday. I was buying fruits and vegetables. When I reached for lettuce, the baby carriage was with me. It was also in the car. There was a baby bag. There was a secret section in the bag. I was carrying all of them there in case there was a theft in my house. When I handed the money to the seller, I couldn’t see my bag. I started screaming in panic. I asked for help. Those who saw said that a woman wearing a green dress had escaped. I did not see anyone running. “There was no one I suspected. It happened in a very short time. Everything happened in 5-10 seconds,” he said.
“We had savings for the future of my children”
Saying that the market value of their gold is 200 thousand liras, Yurdakul said, “I had all my wedding jewelery in my bag, bracelets for my children at births and savings for my children’s future. I was going to give my little girl a toothache at the weekend. I went shopping for her. I took the bag with me. “I took it with me because I was afraid, but they took it from me in seconds. According to the calculation at the police station, I lost 200 thousand liras,” he said.
“I have nothing but them”
Addressing the suspect who stole her purse, Çiçek Yurdakul said that the stolen gold was the future of her children and said, “For God’s sake, I want them to bring it back. Because those gold coins are the future of my children. I have nothing but them. All our savings that I have kept for 5 years are gone. For God’s sake, let them bring my children’s future back. “They stole it. We can’t do anything at this cost. I was even afraid to exchange it for myself. We were going to buy a house. We couldn’t buy it when the prices of the houses increased,” he said.
Police continue to work to apprehend the suspect.
