Answer

Why do petty vandalism incidents happen in Santa Catalina, Mallorca, especially at night?

Santa Catalina is lively late into the evening, with bars, terraces, restaurants and narrow streets that become quieter at night. In that setting, someone can move through the area without drawing much attention, especially where lighting is weak and parked cars line both sides of the street. That combination can make quick acts of damage harder to notice in time.
