Break-in in Deia: €50,000 in Jewelry — What Does It Say About Safety in Mallorca?

Answer

Why do burglaries in Mallorca often involve empty or seasonal properties?

Empty or seasonal properties can be easier to approach because there is less day-to-day activity around them. In Mallorca, that can make it harder for neighbours to notice unfamiliar people or vehicles quickly. Burglars also tend to prefer quick targets, and unoccupied homes fit that pattern.
