[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Visiting Poland

[Greg Mason]

I'll echo Paul's comments.  ALWAYS leave your car in a guarded parking lot.  If your hotel does not provide such security, there are commercial guarded lots in most large cities within a couple of blocks from your hotels.  When I was in Torun, I witnessed a German's Mercedes  being stolen at NOON from in front of the hotel's entrance while the owner was inside checking in.  So, it can happen anytime.  Also, if you rent the auto in Germany, make sure the rental company gives you permission to take the car to Poland.   Best wishes,  Greg
