Driving through southern Italy in 1979 in a convoy of test trucks, the load was metal crates of concrete blocks and 'spares' including spare wheels and drums of fuel.
On arrival in a town our 'wagon-master' would enquire of the hotel receptionist where we could find 'guards' for the vehicles and after handing over millions of lira a youth in a Fiat 500 would turn up toting a rifle and stay/sleep overnight. We never lost anything.
