my friends had potential clients come over and stay in samokov whilst they chose a builder to renovate their house. they decided to choose my friends to do the work. so the night before leaving they had a good drink and woke up the next day ready to pack and catch a flight home. however the passports had gone!!!! anyway they missed their flight and then they received a phone call from the people that lost out on the renovation work saying they had their passports and if they want them back they would have to pay them 100 euros.....
they paid and got their passports back and rebooked flights for monday. i offered them my apartment for free until monday ..
my friend also said something interesting. "you have people in bulgaria who dont care how they get money and the majority who really want to do a good job for money, the secret to foreigners success in bulgaria is to be lucky not to meet the first kind"

re: shocking
No matter how you look at it, its theft !!!!The stealing of passports is frowned upon, even by the BG authorities, in fact if reported to our embassy it will be acted on immediately, something to do with who actually owns the passports, ie, the crown...
Have to admire their gaul though, i suppose they found them did they ?? and were after a reward
re: shocking
They should have just got an emergency passport from the embassy, and then replacements back home. would have cost more but at least the crooks would not have benefited!re: shocking
eyepaulif the builder is a recognised company or person in Samokov it would be worth naming them on here so that no one else falls into the same trap
re: shocking
agree with skialoteyepaul if you let us know the names i may be able to get police in samokov involved
steff
re: shocking

re: shocking
im sure they did whats best and their judgement must be quite sound as they chose another company for their renovation work....re: shocking
Eyepaul,You can keep coming on the forum promoting your apartment, management company and your builder friends, but it will not save the Bulgarians from the inevititable.
