Car thefts on the island

[GregM]

Just to let anybody know who has a car here on the island, to take care. Our car has been broken into, twice in 2 weeks. First time was at the beach at Es Cubells. Nobody about, took our radio and sat nav. Second time, the car was parked in San An on the road to Savannah.

I know it is common sense, but leave nothing showing. Cost us 120 euros for a new window.

Hope it doesn't happen to anybody else.

I'm not kidding,a couple of weeks ago we had a pair of espadrilles and a packet of McVitie's gingernuts stolen from a locked boot overnight,no sign of break in....boot was still locked in the morning!

If anyone sees those biscuits.....
