It’s summer and as temperatures rise, so do car thefts. There are many reasons for the increased thievery – more people are travelling, windows are left open, cars are left running during quick drop-offs and pick-ups. For car dealers, the stakes are extremely high due to the volume of expensive merchandise and equipment that are on-property.
While theft is the main concern for dealerships, these specialized businesses are also susceptible to property damage and trespassing. At one Seattle dealership, vandals caused an estimated $150,000 in damages to almost 30 cars on the lot.
At a Florida dealership, a vagrant attempted to sleep in an unlocked car. Here is the auto dealership security video.
