What are the main methods used by professional burglars targeting Mallorca villa districts?

Investigators describe a staged operation: they attach GPS trackers to cars, use hidden cameras to confirm nobody is home, and monitor targets remotely before a planned night break-in. In Mallorca, at least 18 cases have been solved using this pattern, with the loot estimated at more than half a million euros.
