Answer

Why are small shops in Mallorca vulnerable to theft?

Small specialist shops often display high-value items openly and work with limited staff, which makes targeted theft easier. In Mallorca, that can be a particular problem for hobby, toy and collector stores that keep rare items in cabinets or on shelves. Once goods disappear, they can be difficult to trace if they are resold quickly.
