Following the example of legitimate craftsmen – like miners, stone-cutters, masons, and hangmen – many thieves in the Ottoman Empire were members of organized guilds, most of which were well known to the police on account of the frequent bribes and "tributes" the thieves paid to keep the authorities off their backs.
The thieves were also mindful to target foreigners as often as possible so as to not upset locals, which proved quite easy in cosmopolitan Constantinople. It must also be noted that the line between crook and cop was very porous in those days, as many of the police chosen to keep watch on the thieves were themselves former members of the larcenous classes.
