“I come here with a warning for those who arrive this year in Sardinia. I was fascinated by this island and I returned the third time. This time it was bad! On return, when for half an hour, we did not have the car was opened without being forced and emptied. He wrote a Romanian on a traveler group.
The post was intensely commented on by people who told similar events or asked what they can do not fall victim to the thieves in cars.
“We still go in September with the personal car. What do you recommend so that we do not go the same? I am afraid”, asked a group user.
Another user explained: “nu know what could recommend you. In some beaches, parking is a simple “field” and walks to the beach. There are no parking lots, with rooms and guard. Let us hope that he will discourage his police, to catch them quickly. ”
The police said that from May to September there is something “normal”
Chances that the thieves will be caught are zero, says the Romanian: “The police did not have the car to come to the incident. He considered that it was enough to give us a document to be able to return to the country and so … not fingerprints, no pictures … he said that from May to September there is something>”.
Another user recommended that documents and valuable things keep them close, and the route they make to give them the luggage on accommodation, and between the localities, the parking is as close to where they are staying.
“I think the masks themselves are not interested. Some say that the rental agencies would somehow contribute to the success of the bastards ”, someone else commented.
A Romanian who wanted to return to Sardinia begins to reconsider the idea: “Pfff what crazy. We were 2 years ago, we were thinking of returning, but we had no problems there. Everything was perfect and I hope that these ugly affairs do not start to discourage tourism, because it is too nice there.”
“Success, I hope you have insurance at the masks, that in luggage I do not think it exists ”, someone wrote.
“We happened in Corfu. A thief with the right keys entered us.”
“We happened, unfortunately, to have a car rental car in a parking lot and missing things,” showed another user.
Andreea told her Passion: “We happened in Corfuon the first night of accommodation, it was 3 o’clock at night, a thief with the right keys entered (he had stolen from the room where the service woman had all the keys from the rooms) over us in the room. Lucky I heard how the key was moving in the yelwau (the key, we had to remove it from the yard, it had a metal thing that we had to put it in a device on the wall to have current) when we jumped out of bed, an individual dressed in black, with the mask on the face, then the door unlocked us. Lucky he was a sensor in the hall, so it was the light bulb and I managed to see the masked individual. I screamed in the big mouth: the thief! He ran … That’s it. Lucky he did not get into the room to steal us from the goods. ”
A Romanian who has lived for 20 years in Sardinia says that this has not happened to him and often leaves the door open, even when he enters the bar or ice cream: “In front of the house I leave it open and at night even when they are tourists .pffff now you have to lock it after this news. “
Happened in the parking lot of a restaurant
“Where was the car parked? At a paid parking? I would like to know if they are more protected in the parking lots … thank you!”wanted to know a platfrome user.
“Not in parking with payment, but at a restaurant at the seafront, “he was answered.
“I also parked paying to Porto Cervo and Rotondo. They did not seem more guarded but I think the luck was with us, there ”, added the victim. She said it happened while returning to the airport.
“We happened in Greece, near a beach. We had nothing to take from the car, but they changed our frequency on the remote control, so we didn’t go. With chiu, we managed to open with the key in the frog but the alarm was activated every time we entered the car, as if we were offend.”another commentator told.
How not to fall prey to car thieves
“We often go to Caraïbe and it was clear to let us always leave the car and leave nothing of value. This is how we do in any country we visit ” – someone else advised.
“It is very ugly on their part and is very serious. We no longer go to certain regions where we have heard that they are stolen and they play tourists. Try to write in English on international tourism groups and especially on Google Maps to give them only 1 star (I warn the travelers, describing what happened, I add pictures sometimes). You may change the police attitude and they will patrol more often if they want to live from tourism. It would be good to be as many denunciations and warnings on Google Maps … Thank you! I did not think that in Europe it can happen … Like in Caraïbe, robberies like this ”someone said.
“Not necessarily to put only one star and at that beach on Google Maps to averture in English to know tourists not to leave their masks. Basically they need tourists who come and buy gas, pay for accommodations on them, etc. If the police are aware that from May to September, robberies are happening, he must take measures. If you want, I help you and I post. It is unacceptable to beat tourists. We all work and make efforts to visit their places and it’s not free“, supported another user.
“To avoid such a problem, close the car with the key not from the remote control”, someone else explained.
“Do not leave anything in the car, do not do on the stars on vacation, wear ordinary things, not expensive jewelry, valuable watches! Go on vacation not at the wedding. Everywhere there are thieves, of all nations, so be vigilant!” – showed another user.
