Pizza With Money-Back Guarantee

(Hürriyet Newspaper, 28 February 2011)

Someone, whose identity is unknown, called four restaurants and a
pizza parlor over the past three days in Nilüfer district of Bursa
province and after giving a 20 TL order said 'I'll be giving the deliverer
200 TL so send my change along with my order.'  This person then
waited in front of his apartment building and told the deliverer when
he arrived with the pizza 'I'm going to work. Give the order to my wife
on the second floor and she'll give you the money.' The unknown
person then took the change and disappeared.

The night before last the suspect again called a pizza parlor but plain-
clothes police went to the address. The suspect, Mahmut Serhat Güntel,
was caught red-handed. Güntel turned out to have a record.
