Eight friends from Bilbao report burglary in Ibiza: thongs and sens toys among stolen items

The theft of thongs and a sens toy from a group of eight friends from Bilbao during their holidays in Ibiza has triggered a controversy that goes beyond the incident itself. Content creator Mirari Bilbao told a local outlet how their rented house was ransacked while they were away celebrating one friend's 40th birthday. What could have been minor news has become a barometer of social prejudices.

The incident

The events took place in early July 2026. The women, who had organized the alucinación months in advance, found their accommodation looted upon returning from an outing. Among the stolen items were intimate underwear and sens toys, leading some sectors to question the victims' behavior. According to those affected, the Local Police did not provide sufficient attention, and the police station's computer system failed when they tried to file the report.

Reactions

Two opposing views have clashed in public debate: one criticizing the women for their lifestyle and another denouncing secondary victimization and lack of police effectiveness. Although material losses were minor, the incident highlighted the persistence of gender stereotypes and the tendency to blame victims.

It is likely that this case will fade into the summer news cycle, but the discussion on the treatment of burglary victims and police response remains latent.
