He was on holiday with his 16-year-old daughter, who had just finished her exams. The anticipation of a "wonderful" holiday was shattered when he was "drugged and robbed".
Mr. Cocker says that he had drunk three pints when he started to have visions and felt disorientated. His daughter took him back to their hotel, which was when it was realised that his phone had been stolen. He adds that he experienced hallucinations for three days.
He goes on to say that he heard awful stories from some other guests who stayed at his hotel. Their belongings - phones, credit cards, money and passports - had been stolen.
He advises other holidaymakers to use cash rather than cards and to never accept drinks from strangers.

Marvin Le MartianMaybe it was the cheapest he could find. Still, I understood that Magaluf was finally starting to grow up (and thusly "boring"), and so Brits are avoiding it. Is that not the case? In any case, it's sad that Magaluf can't seem to break out of the mold. And sadder for this unwitting victim.
Sounds like a lovely hotel he’s at: “he heard awful stories from some other guests who stayed at his hotel. Their belongings - phones, credit cards, money and passports - had been stolen”.
Yet another tourist scammed and robbed. We're all making it too easy for the criminals. Keep your valuables safe, don't accept drinks from strangers and leave what you don't immediately need in your hotel room, hidden. If you don't have it on your person, it can't be stolen from you. This is not isolated to Mallorca. Everywhere that tourists go, criminals follow. Be aware, be secure, be safe.
