the storage lots at the assembly plants are likely about 640 acres, i believe that is 1 mile by 1 mile,
chances are they only have a guard at the primary gates & another guard on a winterized ATV.

This is at the Warren Michigan Plant, where they build the Classic Rams, this is only a small section of the holding area

Thieves have had to try other storage lots as the one by Jefferson assembly (Detroit) has reenforced fences with barbed and electric wires along the top. Took FCA a couple of years to curb the thieves at that lot.

I see mine!
I doubt yours is in that picture, that storage out lot just south of Warren Truck assembly plant hasn't had that many 1500s waiting to ship for several years now.

In the image, if you notice, the Fog Lights are Horizontal
so it must have been taken sometime between 2009 - 2012

NO fear of Punishment because the Punishment is not a bother.
Newsom would reward them for their effort in California. They could claim climate damage and they're just doing there part for the earth. he let half of the criminals out so they might have migrated to Michigan. They have a wacko governor too.

This has been an on going thing for YEARS. I would imagine this is an inside job and nobody really has incentive to stop it, due to insurance pays for the stolen vehicles and the perpetrators are making off like fat rats.

The Melroe Bobcat plant used to stage trailers loaded with Bobcats for delivery next to their plant on a railroad right away. That is until someone with a semi tractor acting like he knew what he was doing came up and hooked up a full trailer made off with them.
