Serial offender in Palma's parking garages: 68 cases — how could this happen?

Answer

Why are Palma parking garages vulnerable to break-ins?

The report notes many private garages have weak protection: pedestrian access left open, gates that don’t close properly, and insufficient lighting, which invite access. Keys, remotes, or valuables left in cars lower a thief’s hesitation. Investigators had to merge multiple reports to spot the pattern, and the suspect’s mobility across Palma added to the challenge.
