(FYI) Theft & Security: KIA and Hyundai

[SpeedNeed]

Worried about that non-locking hood? These folks have it worse:

NYC saw an 890% increase in Kia thefts at the end of 2022 and a 766% increase in Hyundai thefts in the preceding months because of the issue, the city claims

“Thieves have been breaking ignition covers off Kia and Hyundai vehicles made between 2011 and 2021 and can use any external device shaped like a USB to bypass the ignition sequence and drive off, Adams said.”

”People publicized it on social media, leading to a TikTok challenge that emerged in mid-2022.”

Nope. On day one I added hood locks. The peace of mind is worth it!

Two of the guys that I work around have had Kia's stolen recently.

Well, until there is very serious and real consequences for thievery, it will only get worse....

I bought my step-daughter the best anti-theft device I could find...

If you can't depress the brake pedal, there is no starting the car or take out of park.
