another abduction attempt

[Clioman2]

have been watching these threads and i can honestly say that the Police are not only a waste of time but will be accessories to a crime if this (these?) characters succeed. We've holidayed in Calis since 1996 and to be candid it is becoming a very unsafe place. The problem persists and the police let everyone down. People will start to go to other resorts/countries and it will serve Calis right! Is that really what the locals want? We live in Preston and we don't hear of anyone making so many attempts at abduction here.

The problem we have is that there is a belief that the police are not doing enough or not taking things seriously. I particularly note that when the white mercedes driver made an attempt, a witness gave the registration number to the police, yet what sounds like the same vehicle made a later attempt some days (weeks?) later. This implies that the police either didn't follow it up or the result of that wasn't sufficient to stop this pervert doing what he does.

Why do the police insist we go through the effort of reporting things if the same person can do the same things again a few days later? It is the answer to this little question that would show so much.

I don't think so. More likely in my humble opinion is that the police who were given the reg number at the time, for whatever reason, maybe went looking for the driver but didn't report the incident. Yet again, the police station have no record.

I'm not saying that's what happened, but I have a feeling...

in my experience of living here so far its my opinion that very little is done about anything until the situation/s reach the point where it hurts them in pocket or bites them on the nose! them being turkish! tonnes off flannel and zero action.
and before anyone accuses me of being racist etc etc, i bloody live with one!! i love it here,but it is dog eat dog and look after your self or leave! that goes for your money,personal safety and your property. iam only saying what i see and meen absolutely nil offence to anyone.
as mentioned before on the forum.. the police seem to have a bigger interest in what you were wearing when you were assaulted/attacked that the attack itself!

Perhaps it`s the lack of respect for us Brits they have.

i think perhaps it is!

From my experience of living there it is indeed correct that the whole building has to fall down before someone suggests fixing the doorbell. Of course, if your advertising sign is 2cm higher than the regulation height, officials and police in abundance can deal with you.

It is very easy to contact Interpol on the web. Would they have a record of the car?

It is worrying is how confident he has become to threaten a man while trying to grab the daughter.

very sad to hear that it has happened again,I will still continue to come to calis and hopefully still feel safe, we have to remember that this type of thing doesn't happen a lot in calis thankfully and had we not belonged to this forum them maybe we would not of been aware of this happening,however as many have said we have to keep reporting it .

I am getting worried now about my holidays:( off to calis beach in 16 days! p.s I sent email and got standard reply back, when it comes to committing a crime in Turkey are there severe concequences? seems to me if so many people are experiencing so much crime that the wrongdoers dont seem to be too bothered of what happens if they get caught. Also are these men just targeting non turkish peoples houses, or is it hotels? are they going for non turkish girls or turkish girls. What would the Turkish people do if it was their homes/hotels and young women being targeted. Ihave been to Altinkum 4 times, granted not for awhile but always felt safe there. It is a worry:(
