A Norwegian couple had their 2021 Kabe motorhome stolen from a parking lot at the Milanofiori shopping center in Milan. The thieves disabled the alarm and drove off within minutes. The couple, who have been traveling in Europe since 1987, were able to return home using a photo of a passport and received an insurance settlement covering most of their losses, including two e-bikes.
A reader of Trieste.news responded to an article about the growing number of campervans on the Karst, stating that parking a campervan is legal if conditions of Article 185 of the Highway Code are met.

Moreno Baggini, owner of the 'La Palazzina' facility, said his pitches have been constantly occupied and he plans to add more. Tourists from across Europe stop in Voghera due to its strategic location, but most parking areas lack services and security. Overnight stay with amenities costs 15 euros.
