Couple attempt to rebuild lives after coin theft

IT WILL go down in police annals as one of the most professional ever burglaries in Cyprus. But quite how the robbers pulled it off is as yet a tantalising mystery.

This, of course, is no consolation to the victims, Caroline and Barrie Carter, who lost their life savings and retirement fund – 200,000 euros worth of gold coins – when they went for a rare night out earlier this month.

Their treasure was uninsured but secure, they believed. The bullion was in a heavy, hidden safe, guarded by four large dogs inside their locked bedroom. Their daughter, Michelle, 26, was at home – and an ex-Scotland Yard police detective lives next door.

Now, eight days after their initial trauma, the Carters are trying to re-build their lives and, admirably, even counting their blessings.

“I’m just delighted Michelle wasn’t harmed,” Caroline told The Sunday Mail, which first reported on the robbery earlier this week along with the Carters’ offer of a 25,000 euro reward for the coins’ return.

The couple’s “wonderful friends” in Peyia are rallying around: they have drummed up 700 euros of ‘survival money’ for the Carters.

“It makes you feel there are more good people out there than bad people,” Caroline, 53, said. The couple’s “excellent” landlord has also let them off this month’s rent.

Even so, the family’s loss is incalculable unless the police – who “have been absolutely fantastic” - recover the coins. The Carters say they may have to pull their son, Michael, 15, out of his public school in Surrey where he excelled academically and on the rugby field.

“We haven’t told him yet that he mightn’t be going back next year,”

Caroline said. “We will sell what bits of jewellery and any other valuables we have in the hope of paying his school fees for next term.”

When the Carters sold their house in Britain to retire in the sea caves area of Peyia four years ago they invested the proceeds in gold which was returning much higher yields than bank deposit accounts.

They kept their coin collection at home for easy access, occasionally cashing in some to pay Michael’s school fees or to pay their rent.

Insurance cover for the bullion would have been prohibitive because it was not stored in a bank vault. But the Carters were confident that their security measures were more than sufficient.

They were proved terribly wrong on the evening of Friday, 10 June. The robbers struck at sometime between 9.15 and 9.45 pm. Michelle had just popped out to pick up a takeaway. It is likely the thieves had been watching the house to ensure no-one was at home.
