One Break-In, Multiple Opportunities for Loss
It only took one shattered glass door for a Georgia dealership to face the risk of losing multiple vehicles — and much more.
Earlier this week, two suspects were charged in connection with a late-night burglary at a dealership in Rome, GA. According to police, one of the suspects smashed the front entry door, entered the building, and headed straight for the keys. Within minutes, he had the keys to several vehicles, started a black 2019 Dodge Charger, and drove it off the lot.
Authorities noted that multiple keys were missing, suggesting that this wasn’t just about one stolen car. Those keys represented more opportunities for theft in the hours and days ahead. The dealership was now faced with:
- The immediate loss of a $34,500 vehicle
- The ongoing threat of other vehicles being stolen
- Higher insurance premiums
- Disrupted operations and lost sales opportunities
- Damage to customer trust
The real problem? Once a thief has your keys, every car on your lot becomes vulnerable.
How iSafe Stops Theft Before It Starts
While securing the building is important, the real line of defense for any dealership is key control. An iSafe system ensures that even if someone forces their way into your showroom, your keys stay locked away, accessible only through secure PIN logins.
With asset tracking, PIN-based access, and full audit trails, iSafe makes sure that:
- Unauthorized individuals can’t get to your keys — period.
- You know exactly who accessed what and when.
- Your vehicles stay exactly where they belong: on your lot.
One break-in shouldn’t be able to compromise your entire inventory. With iSafe, the risk ends where the locked steel door of the system begins.
