Violence is not going to help.

You should not have to put yourself at risk for this man. He is the one in the wrong.

I am doing my very best to politely inform you that there is no point in contacting the honorary council in Fethiye. I know this to be the case and to say so is not negative. Cons on homes, overcharging tourists and the like are problems that can wait as we have a more pressing situation to deal with. Once that is sorted, it isn't worth going to the honorary consul with any of those either.

The man who can make things happen is the Governor, even the Mugla region police chief reports to him. I'd also like to see Nick Baird, our ambassador in Ankara, do more than arrange boat trips.

I am now in direct contact with the police lady that was attacked last week,this is part of her email -Anyway it was an old white car and could well have been a Merc but she's not sure. The driver was a guy in his 50's definately with a moustache and the only other passenger was quite a bit younger.

I have now sent her the photo of the other guy and see if she recognises him.

will keep you posted

i agree with the positive action that is being taken, we need to stay calm and focus on what is being done, although I do  agree they need sorting but it may take time,

I was looking forward to my holiday in Calis in August. Unfortunately I am now worried that my 2 teenage daughters will not be safe, despite being with myself and my husband. It's very worrying.

If he tried to abduct my daughter when I or her partner (7 years marines) was there he would now be deceased [:(!]

Just a thought but would it do any good to contact a local Turkish newspapaer and the Land of Lights to higlight these robberies and attempted abductions. Maybe shame the authorities into some positive action.

I agree with Phil, its a good and positive news paper they would not want any tourists reading the bad news, it was a good thought though.

To be honest they should not have to be reading this bad news anyway, I know things happen everywhere, whats so frightening here is the regularity of the attempted abductions and the fact that Sunday it was attemped when the father was present....unbelieveable.

The Kalkan News (On line) Has just reported a spate of breakins in the area....all happening in the early hours of the morning. It would appear that it not just this area but is a general malaise which should be ringing bells in the authorities somewhere.:(
