A warning. In August our family group travelled to Florence by train. We went
to Paris by Eurostar, and then by night train first class to Florence %26ndash;
inferior to Eurostar for smooth ride, comfort and catering. I did not bolt
my sleeping compartment door, and in the night my wallet was stolen from my
jacket. The train attendant said that this was quite common, and they even
knew at which night stops thieves got on and off. My insurance had a cash
limit that came to half the value of my departed traveller%26rsquo;s cheques. Denis

Times travel expert, Julia Brookes, responds: Sadly, although taking a
first-class sleeper is a civilised way to travel, it does mark you out as a
more lucrative target for opportunistic thieves. Always lock your
compartment door at night and keep valuables in a less accessible place,
such as under your pillow.
