This has a lot of details such as road signage, tolls, vignettes, etc. I just discovered it while Google-ing for an upcoming ski trip.

Here's a passage of interest from this website:
"Thefts from vehicles occur rather frequently in Spain and Southern Italy. Regardless of where you are, leave nothing of value in the vehicle. Leave the glove compartment open and emptied. If a rear seat pulls down to offer access to the trunk, pull it down—and leave the trunk empty. If you must leave something of value in the trunk, however, lock that seat so it can't be pulled down. If possible, lock the trunk from the driver's side lock so it can't be popped open without the key. If your vehicle has a hatchback, remove the shield that conceals the empty trunk. Consider leaving the front passenger door open to allow thieves easy access: otherwise, they'll break a lock or window. Essentially, make the scene look as if some other thief has been there already. If you drive into the larger cities, consider parking in front of embassies and banks where security may be better, or in an area where traffic police are working. Throughout Europe, parking ramps offer safer haven than the streets; but they may not be worth the cost.
The rate of theft of vehicles themselves is high in the city of Prague and in Poland. The nicer your vehicle the more you should consider parking it in secure parking garges only. You may even be smart to leave the vehicle in an outlying smaller town or city, opting to take the extremely cheap trains into the metro area. Thieves concentrate where the tourists are, and the tourists usually aren't in the small towns. Turning the wheels all the way to the curb may also help prevent theft of the vehicle."
