I had my camera stolen at the La Spezia train station and by the time I realized it was gone I was four hours south in Rome. The Rome police wouldn't file a police report. My credit card company provides theft protection but without an official police report they say there is nothing they can do. Has anyone had an experience like this before? What can I say to the credit card company so they will submit my claim without a police report? Thanks in advance for any information.
Please protect your valuables, the Italian pickpocket gangs are nothing to take lightly! I was also targeted by two gypsy girls in Rome on Easter morning and luckily was able to realize what was happening before being robbed.
