Answer

Why are empty houses and poorly lit streets such a problem in Mallorca towns?

Empty homes and dark streets give offenders more room to act without being noticed. In Mallorca towns, especially where many properties are seasonal or only used part of the year, those conditions can make opportunistic burglaries more likely.
