Had a great drive to Como in my 4/4...visited Lecco to sort out some admin on daughter's upcoming wedding...parked Morgan in car park near the Bell Tower and I was approached bt a very big black guy who said he would "guard" my car for 10 euros !!!!...left sharpish and found somewhere else to park !!!
I used to park there often but got fed up with the "migrants" constantly trying to sell me something: everything from cigarette lighters to pirated music CDs and porno DVDs. The police are supposed to be moving them on but it appears that they always have something more important to do

and only arrive when someone complains.
I have never had anyone demand money to watch the car and I have never heard of of any cars being damaged.
Having said that some idiot decided to set up a migrant camp just outside town and there have been complaints about behaviour, particularly towards women and girls who go to the nearby pool, ride bikes or jog along the riverside park, etc.
