I haven't seen any that lock them up, but some put them in a "sold" area of the lot and leave them alone.
In addition to employees going for joyrides, there's also the issue of putting the car in the showroom. I've seen sold M6 convertibles sitting in showrooms with people all over them.
By the way, I've had two cars damaged by dealerships during "pre-delivery inspection", so I never let them do it without my supervision now, and I don't let them detail the car.
In general, cars are poorly handled by US dealerships, and luxury car dealerships aren't better than non-luxury ones in my experience. They all pay their people poorly, and they get what they pay for.
