How safe are our homes? The nighttime attack in Alcúdia and lessons for the old town

Answer

Are old town houses in Mallorca more vulnerable to break-ins?

Poor lighting, older doors and shared entrances can make it easier for someone to move around unnoticed. That does not mean every old house is unsafe, but it does mean basic prevention is important.
