I feel really bad for the shop.

That said - this time of break & enter is exceedingly common an auto parts shops, etc., are frequently targeted because the product is highly desirable on the open market. Understand as well that much of this product would likely have been pre-sold by the thieves prior to the break-in occurring. Sitting on the stolen product is a tremendous liability.

I would encourage the shop to invest in lockable bollards for the space immediately outside the bay doors. The cost isn't low but the potential savings are massive. Core into the concrete, drop in the sleeve, and then the bollards sits (locked) in that when the bay isn't in use. It would prevent this type of B&E. It's the same reason you see bollards at the entrances to big box stores and shopping malls.
