Manhunt in Palma: What a robbery of German tourists reveals about safety on the island

Answer

When is Palma most crowded with tourists and street activity?

Palma is especially busy in the late afternoon and evening, when cafés, shops and walkers all fill the old town streets. At those times, there is more movement and more distraction, which can also make petty crime easier for opportunistic thieves. That does not mean the city is unsafe, but it is a good time to be more careful with belongings.
