Burglary Spree on the MA-12: How Safe Do Santa Margalida and Muro Still Feel?

Answer

Why are empty homes and holiday properties in Mallorca more vulnerable to break-ins?

Empty properties are often easier to target because they show clear signs that nobody is there. In Mallorca, short-term rentals, holiday absences, and houses left vacant for stretches of time can all create opportunities for burglars. Older doors and windows can add to the risk if they have not been updated.
