There is the usual petty crime against tourists, including pickpocketing, purse snatching and mugging. In Istanbul, incidents have been reported of tourists who have been drugged and robbed in nightclubs and bars, usually by other foreigners who speak English and French. Americans have been involved in fights at discos, and bar scams involving girls ordering drinks at inflated costs have been reported.
