A method includes instructing a vehicle to autonomously navigate to a given parking space from among the plurality of parking spaces, setting the given parking space to an occupied state in response to the vehicle being positioned within the given parking space, and obtaining infrastructure sensor data from an infrastructure sensor. The method includes determining whether the given parking space has transitioned from the occupied state to the unoccupied state based on the infrastructure sensor data, and in response to determining the given parking space has transitioned to the unoccupied state: obtaining location data from the vehicle, determining whether the vehicle is located at a predefined location based on the location data, and instructing the vehicle to perform a vehicle intrusion routine in response to the vehicle not being located at the predefined location.
