(BPD said Bellevue has had a 29% increase in car thefts in 2023 through October.
BPD has seen a 762% and 730% increase in theft of Kias and Hyundais.)
More Democrats in office!
More George Soros’ DA appointments to let criminals back on the streets!
One of our cars has a millennial anti-theft device.
It’s a standard.
But it’s also not a high risk model and we live out in the middle of nowhere.
They’re a joke. Just cut the steering wheel and remove it.
Here are better ideas.
Increase police presence, let them do their jobs, forget *justice reform*, and prosecute crime again regardless of the color of someone’s skin.
The kids (12 to 16 years old) in the Seattle area have already moved from stealing cars to carjacking them. I suspect that just posting a video of them stealing one and driving around like idiots doesn’t bring the TikTok views like it used to - so now they have upped the game to carjackings.
They are also now targeting the schools - driving past the schools side-swiping parked cars, spraying pepper spray and students, etc. Drive-by shootings will be next so they can keep their TikTok numbers up.
HOW DOES A STEERING WHEEL LOCK WORK?
Steering wheel locks essentially keep thieves from being able to steer your car. Even if they can start it, they will be stuck going in one direction. Even more importantly, steering wheel locks present an obstacle for a thief to overcome. Oftentimes the mere presence of a lock on your steering wheel will cause a thief to pass your car by and search for an easier target.
Bellevue is calling.
A better idea than a gun buy back,
I’ll bet one key fits them all.
This is surprising.
Not really a bad area, 2 miles south of microsoft. There are more teslas than kias.
But probably most of them are stolen by non local ferral children and then used to smash into seattle pot shops
