Some note travel to Itali

Each year a large number of bags and passports are stolen from near major tourist attractions or transport hubs, especially from Termini Station in Rome.
Pay close attention when travelling on crowded public transport,including trains to and from the  airport, the Metro, and buses. Pickpocketing and bag-snatching is especially common. Thieves often work in groups to distract their victims and they then rob them while their attention is diverted.
Even if you are travelling by car you can still be a target for thieves. Many People have had their belongings  stolen from unattended vehicles, particularly in parking spots near the beach or near major tourist attractions. Thieves often don't stop at just stealing the belongings. On many occasions we've had  they've stolen the whole campervan. This is especially common in Rome  around areas near the river or the Colosseum. Of course, everybody wants to enjoy their holiday, but it's important to remember that you're in a foreign country and you need to respect the local laws and customs.
While drinking in public is generally acceptable excessive drinking or drunken behavior is not. When you're drunk your judgement is impaired and you may take risks or make dangerous decisions. We see a lot of young people, particularly on  pub crawls, who get themselves into trouble. They might have their belongings stolen, be sexually assaulted, or simply be unable to find their way home after a night of drinking. Drink spiking happens everywhere  and Italy is no exception, so you should always be aware of where your drink is and never accept drinks from strangers. Excessive alcohol or drug use can increase the likelihood of being involved in violence. If somebody tries to start a fight with you, avoid retaliating and walk away. If you are arrested or jailed the Australian government will do what it can to help you but we cannot interfere in the local laws or get you out of jail.
Before you travel it's vital that you take out the appropriate travel insurance, regardless of how long you're staying, whether you're staying with relatives, staying in five-star accommodation, or backpacking.
Italy is an amazing country and by being aware  of your personal security and your belongings  you're more likely to take home happy memories.
