Does patrol actually stop catalytic converter theft?

Unpredictable presence does, because the theft depends on a few uninterrupted minutes under a vehicle. Removing the predictability is what moves the crew to a different lot — and the reports show which rows and hours were being targeted.

Standing post or patrol for a dealership?

It comes down to inventory value and incident history. A single converter loss plus downtime often exceeds a month of patrol, so most dealers start with patrol and escalate to an overnight post after a cluster of incidents.

Can you respond if the alarm goes off at 3 a.m.?

Yes. Alarm response is a standard add-on — an officer clears the exterior, verifies the point of entry, documents with photos, and coordinates with police and your on-call manager, usually well before a manager could arrive.

Will you document damage for insurance claims?

Yes. Photographed row lines on each pass give you a timestamped before-and-after, which is exactly what carriers ask for and what most dealerships cannot produce.

What we have learned about car dealership lot overnight patrol

Dealership lots lose money in the rows nobody can see from the street. Converter cuts take minutes under a truck parked on the back line, and the loss is discovered when a customer asks why the vehicle sounds wrong. Presence in those rows, on an unpredictable schedule, is the entire deterrent — a camera records the cut but does not stop it.

The second exposure is the service drive and key box. Vehicles staged overnight for service, with keys inside the building, make a dealership a two-stage target. We verify the service drive, key-box room door, and lot lighting on every pass and photograph the row line so a claim has a documented before-and-after.
