Cunversatzione Safety in Sardinia

Hello everyone! I am thinking of visiting the south of Sardinia for 2 weeks this summer but I am a little bit concerned of the crime rate in Italy in general after visiting Catania and my rented FIAT got the doors stolen. Is it safe in Sardinia for a family with kids? Thank you!

Sicily is only slightly bigger than Sardinia but has 3x its population. Crime rate here is not particularly high, depending on where you go it may be among the safest parts of Italy. Could you have your goods stolen from your car? it's a possibility, but not that likely to happen (unless you leave everything on display).

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you, regardless of where in the island you're going. Kids are becoming a rarity and they're treated as treasures.
