Robbery in El Molinar: How Safe Do Guests Feel When a Watch Is Snatched from Their Wrist?

Answer

Why do tourists in Mallorca get targeted for watch theft?

Tourists often wear visible valuables, move through unfamiliar streets, and are less likely to notice someone approaching from behind. In Mallorca, busy restaurant areas and waterfront streets can create the perfect moment for a quick snatch-and-run robbery. Offenders usually rely on distraction and speed rather than force.
