Answer
How can I make my flat in Mallorca safer against burglary?
Basic steps still make a difference: keep windows and doors locked, fit better door cylinders or additional bolts, and mark valuable items if possible. It also helps to write down serial numbers and use simple deterrents such as peepholes, motion sensors, or security stickers. In apartment buildings, neighbours who share information quickly often spot suspicious behaviour earlier.
