In Şişli, two suspects climbed up and stole a teddy bear that was hanging on the wall of a shop. A citizen who recorded the moments with a mobile phone shouted at the thieves, "Isn't this shameful, gentlemen?" The suspects responded brazenly, saying, "I liked it, so I took it." The shop owner stated, "A person really wouldn't steal a bear. That's why they should return our bear. If they bring it back, I won't file a complaint."

In the 19 Mayıs neighborhood of Şişli district in Istanbul, a shocking theft incident occurred around 00:30. Two suspects arrived in front of a shop that had opened about two weeks ago and noticed a teddy bear hanging on the wall. One of the suspects climbed the wall and stole the bear. The thieves were captured on a citizen's mobile phone camera.
"I LIKED IT, I TOOK IT"
The citizen recording the footage called out to the thieves, saying, "Isn't it shameful, gentlemen?" The thieves responded cheekily, saying, "I liked it, I took it," and left the scene. In the morning, the shop owner Uğur Yürtsü (37) noticed that the teddy bear was missing. The person who captured the moments of the teddy bear being stolen reached out to Uğur Yürtsü on social media and sent the footage.
"WE PUT THE BEAR FOR THE CHILDREN"
Speaking about the incident, Uğur Yürtsü said, "After I left, two people came and looked at the bear. The person who recorded the video reached out to me on social media. They ripped the bear off and ran away, they took it and left. They said 'I liked it, I took it' without paying attention to the person's warnings. The person said, 'Isn't it shameful?' and they replied, 'I liked it, I took it.' We put this here to make people smile. You know, to make them smile, people's faces are not smiling anyway. We put it for the children and so on. But such a theft occurred."
"A PERSON REALLY DOES NOT STEAL A BEAR"
Yürtsü stated, "It has been about 15 days since we opened the shop, let's call it misfortune. A person really does not steal a bear. That's why they should return our bear. If they return it, I won't file a complaint, but if they don't, I think their audacity will continue. This issue concerns other people as well. The person who does this despite warnings can do anything. I have never heard of such a thing happening here. This is a busy street; I don't know what it signifies that they acted so casually, why they did it. We would be pleased if they return it."
