How 1Micro’s iSafe Systems Safeguard Your Keyfobs from Theft
Dealerships are a target for theft, no matter where you are located in the country. A recent incident in Erie County, Pennsylvania, underscores just how critical it is for dealerships to have robust security measures in place. On January 19th, suspects forced their way into New Motors BMW, stealing key fobs and driving off with three high-end BMWs. Unfortunately, this isn’t an isolated case. Similar break-ins have been reported in the region, with thieves exploiting vulnerabilities in how dealerships store their keys.
While the stolen vehicles in this case were eventually recovered, the financial and reputational damage to the dealership is significant. Preventing such incidents requires proactive measures to secure your key management systems—and that’s where 1Micro’s iSafe systems come in.
The Problem: Vulnerable Key Storage Areas
In many dealerships, keys are stored in service areas or other accessible locations. While convenient for day-to-day operations, these areas can become targets for thieves, especially if traditional locks or cabinets are the only barriers. As the Erie County case demonstrates, determined criminals can easily exploit these weaknesses, leading to costly and reputational losses.
