Answer
Are daytime burglaries common in Mallorca?
Daytime burglaries can happen in Mallorca, especially when homes are empty during working hours. Police in Palma have said some recent break-ins targeted cash and jewellery rather than larger electronics, which suggests the offenders were looking for items that are easy to steal and resell. The main protection is usually simple: locked doors and windows, visible security, and neighbours who notice unusual activity.
