My parents have jsut been "swindled" in a motorway service station just past Milan. THey stopped and my mother was inside whilst my father was stood next to his car. A car stopped in the space next to him and the bloke got out and spread a map on his (the theifs) bonnet and asked for directions. My father turned round for no more than 15 or so seconds, by which time they had been in the car and stolen his wallet (with cards) and other documents and money, and my mothers handbag with her medication and some jewellery.
I suppose it could happen anywhere so just a heads up for you all
