Answer

Are second homes in Mallorca more likely to be targeted by burglars?

Second homes in Mallorca can be easier targets because they are often empty for parts of the year and may look less watched. That does not mean they are unsafe by default, but they do benefit from extra precautions such as good locks, regular checks and a trusted person who can notice problems early. Visible signs that a property is occupied can also help reduce risk.
