Motorhome on the trail: How a traveling gang of thieves targeted the Balearic Islands' luxury neighborhoods

Answer

Why can a motorhome be a useful disguise for thieves in Mallorca?

A motorhome can look like an ordinary tourist camper, which makes it less likely to draw attention in Mallorca's busy coastal areas. It also gives offenders a place to store stolen items, change locations often, and blend into normal holiday traffic. That combination can delay police from linking separate incidents to the same group.
