When the Garage Becomes a Trap: Palma Alarmed After Wave of Car Break-ins

Answer

Why are car break-ins in Palma happening more often in communal garages?

Police in Palma say offenders are increasingly targeting communal underground garages because they often have weak access controls, poor lighting, and doors that are easy to force open. In many apartment buildings, the garage was never designed with modern crime prevention in mind, which makes it an attractive target. Residents can reduce the risk with better lighting, tighter access control, and by not leaving garage remotes inside the car.
