Securing the Automotive Industry: Addressing Rising Theft and Protecting Dealerships

Securing the Automotive Industry: Addressing Rising Theft and Protecting Dealerships
In 2023, a staggering statistic highlighted a growing threat to the automotive industry: one car was stolen every 31 seconds in the United States. This alarming trend underscores the need for robust security solutions, especially for automotive plants and dealerships, which have become hotspots for criminal activity. The rising demand for stolen vehicles, whether for resale or parts, has placed high-value inventory at significant risk.

At Valentis, we understand the unique challenges automotive dealerships face. From safeguarding vehicles and equipment to ensuring the safety of staff and customers, the stakes are high. Criminals are becoming more sophisticated, targeting dealerships not just for the cars on the lot but also for tools, electronics, and other valuable assets. These realities demand more than just traditional security measures—they require innovative, tailored solutions.

Why Dealerships Are Targeted
Automotive dealerships house high-value inventory in a relatively small area, making them attractive targets for theft. Thieves may exploit vulnerabilities such as:

• Limited Physical Security Measures: Insufficient barriers, such as fences or gates, can make it easier for criminals to gain access.
• Inadequate Surveillance Systems: Blind spots in outdated camera systems can allow thieves to operate undetected.
• Lack of On-Site Security Personnel: Without a visible presence, dealerships become easier targets for opportunistic crimes.
