It was early in the morning when Dimitris Karagounis - a retired engineer -went to buy a newspaper as he does every day . He returned to his home in Holargos cutting off because he recently suffered a stroke.
Then the two thieves who were in the area spotted him and approached him. They were lying to be PPC technicians and there was a problem at his home. He opened them and they came in
His mistake was that before he opened the door of his house he asked his wife Johana to take their wild dog to the balcony.
The two men asked the two elderly to move their refrigerator and snagged them back.
They were pretended to control household electrical appliances while entering the bedrooms and robbing all the money and jewelery. Their dog - Caesar - was barking and trying to save them but locked him out.
"I could put the dog in. He would save us for sure. But I was scared for a while, the thieves had a knife with them and they would killed it . So I preferred to lose all my money and my goldfish despite my dog," said Mrs. Ioanna. "If they killed my dog I would feel remorse for all my life. I love him so much " she adds.
The thieves were as bad as they demanded and pay for their trouble. They asked 50 euro saying that they corrected the problem.
Eventually the thieves managed to make money and golds worth 20,000 euro. "We feel unsafe in our own home," they told me.
In recent times there have been many cases of aging victims being victimized by this method.
