Answer
What is impressioning and can it threaten Mallorca holiday homes?
Impressioning is when burglars press keys into a lock to create a precise copy of the key profile. It can happen without forcing the lock or leaving visible damage, so it often goes undetected. In Mallorca, vacation properties that sit empty for extended periods can be particularly vulnerable.
