keep a close eye on your handbags,(especially if you leave them unattended while dancing) as a eastern european girl(short,quite pretty) was seen trying to "lift"handbags on wednesday night Lapta and Merit Hotel area!!!!!!!

Wise up all.and only take out as much as you might need for the evening,and leave everything else of importance at home..and always keep your handbags on your arm. ) that way we are giving them No Chance.!!!!

Its a big shame if this thing is starting up in TRNC, as thats one of the reasons why I love the place- its basically crime free!



Spider is very correct only take out what you need as in most bars you can always go back and finally settle your bills if you overspend haha I know this as I have done at numerous bars (repeatedly). I used to advise the same when I had my bar in Spain and had no sympathy when you heard the hard luck stories of people being rolled and you know something ...they were never rolled of £20 it was always hundreds!!



So be vigilant and dont let some idiot ruin your holiday or weekend!!

god if they rummaged mine they would feel sorry for me, but i do take your point girls hanf=g onto them. We only had this conversation today when one of my customers had a gift of a handbag holder, to put on the table so the bag is techinacally hidden by placing it on the hook.great idea. xxxx

Regarding handbag holders all the women here in Beirut use them and its so very practical and its not because of them being stolen either, it saves room on the tables and does not get in the way of the Arguileh!!
