How can I avoid car theft while parking in Mallorca?

The simplest precautions are often the most effective: do not leave bags, electronics, or other valuables in plain sight, and lock everything in the boot before arriving at the parking spot. Choose busy, well-lit areas whenever possible and always lock the car, even for a short stop. These habits matter especially in tourist areas where thieves look for quick opportunities.
