I was in Lviv, Ukraine, when a message popped up on my phone. It came from a friend who was visiting the Vatican City with three others. They were on a self-driving tour and they had parked their car by the side of the road. Unfortunately, thieves had broken into the car and carted away everything; luggage, valuables ... not a piece was left behind.
I consoled my friend by telling him that not all was lost. At least none of them was hurt and they still had their passports and other important documents with them, which meant they could continue with the rest of their journey.
