PalmAnother incident involving tourists at Palma Airport. Two young men have stolen wheelchairs that Son Sant Joan has set up for people with mobility issues, allowing them to perform runs and tricks in the baggage claim area.

This incident came to light following a post on the Instagram account Mallorcaviral, which explained that the young people were not only misusing wheelchairs but also bothering other travelers. Comments were swift, with many users expressing outrage at this latest instance of uncivil behavior by tourists visiting the Balearic Islands.

"If he were a resident, he would have been fined already", "they should put them on the first plane to their country", "they do what they want, as always"... There are many comments of this kind criticizing the fact that, especially during the summer, the Balearic Islands become a theme park where residents can do nothing but watch helplessly.
