Answer

Why are tourists often targets for car break-ins in Mallorca?

Tourists are often targeted because they are more likely to carry luggage, electronics, or shopping bags, and they may be unfamiliar with local parking habits. In Mallorca, changing visitor patterns create more opportunities for opportunistic theft. Clear information at hotels, airports, and ferry ports could help reduce the risk.
