Burglary in Son Servera: What the Attack on a Bike Shop Reveals About Security in Tourist Towns

Answer

Why do burglars target shops in quieter Mallorca towns?

Quieter towns can be attractive because there are fewer people on the street at night and a lower chance of being disturbed. Shops with visible cash areas, weak doors, or limited nearby surveillance are often easier targets. In Mallorca, the issue is not that these towns are unsafe all the time, but that certain locations can be exposed when daily activity stops.
