Mugged by three men in 4x4 in broad daylight on the AP7. Forced on to hard shoulder. Lost £3k, passports, driving licences, Euro health cards, cheque books, credit cards - the lot. Had 93-year-old woman in the car at the time. Left totally stranded.
Beware - motorway mugging is very common around Barcelona, Alicante etc. Do not stop your car for any reason.
We had a similar experience - had a rock thrown through the car window with two children in the rear, lost all our passports, all mobile phones, all our cards and money. The police did not seem too interested, but did take reports of the crime.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
