Car thefts are a MAJOR problem in gang-infested US cities.
We've covered the Kia Boys in Milwaukee, who specialize in stealing Kias and Hyundais, and similar street gangs, stealing Kias, are in other major US cities including Baltimore.
And Baltimore has finally decided to do something about it:
VIDEOS AT LINK.............
The city of Baltimore has filed a federal lawsuit against car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, joining a number of cities who say the companies created a public nuisance by making cars that can be easily stolen.
"Hyundai and Kia's decision to put cost savings and profits over public safety has had significant consequences for Baltimore and its residents, as it has in other cities," the lawsuit says.
Car thefts in the city have nearly doubled this year compared to the same time last year, part of a nationwide trend after videos showing how to easily steal the vehicles racked up millions of views on TikTok.
Imagine that. They're going after the car companies instead of the perps!
Yeah, sure, they could lock up the people who are doing the stealing, but that would probably be "inequitable" and promote "harmful stereotypes."
Instead, they want to bring action against these Asian car manufacturers because that makes total sense.
Baltimore is one of the worst cities with crime in the entire country. The face-melting mental gymnastics here are insane.
There’s a dynamic balance between ease of theft and carjacking.
If the cars are too difficult to steal without the driver in them, them more will be stolen with the driver in them.
The solution is more sever penalties in both cases.
According to the company, the name “Kia” derives from the Sino-Korean characters 起 (ki, ‘to arise’) and 亞 (a, which stands for 亞細亞, meaning ‘Asia’); it is roughly translated as “Rising from (East) Asia”......................
One, finding, convicting, and jailing criminals is work. Democrats don’t work.
Two, what Democrats do do is grift. Criminals don’t have big money. Corporations do.
Therefore, Democrats shake down companies for money and ignore criminals. What’s new?
Also this works towards the original and ongoing Democrat goal of racism — further degrading Black morals by encouraging crime as a way of life, and amping up resentment towards Blacks by everyone else.
These must be the same teens who are getting gunned down and droves by Angry white men who’ve never committed a crime before
The Kia design is incredibly stupid, don’t try to pretend it isn’t.
No it’s not KIA’s fault these punks are stealing cars, but the design is beyond dumb, if your end goal is to actually keep a car from being started without a key.
Car thieves will find a way.
A while back, some really entrepreneurial types were actually using wreckers to tow the cars away..................
I don’t think you understand just how simple it is to start these cars.
True professional thieves will find a way, but do you think true auto theft rings are out there stealing kia rios? No, they aren’t. These cars are literally so easy to start that 10 year olds can do it. That’s the issue.
Watch this video to see what we are exactly talking about. He explains and demonstrates very well exactly what is going on with these cars.

Why not severely punish thieves? You can leave your wallet and phone on a table in Dubai and no one will touch it. Not saying I’d want to live there, but there are ways to discourage those who don’t respect other’s property. Some will need more discouraging than others, that’s a fact.
I was right the east coast states are getting as stupid as the west coast states.
Many new car dealerships and loan companies install remote kill switches on the starter the repo man always gets the car.
My truck had one but I paid cash for it and the dealership removed it.
They are saying it without saying it.
The solution is more sever penalties in both cases.
= = =
Yep.
Sever their hands, then their neck on 2nd offense.
Typo’d version works for me, too.
I’m deeply grieved, but when you can’t use the ‘N’ word when it applies. You lost the war before it started.
Notice my tongue is tied. I didn’t use it either. If “they” were Americans, they wouldn’t be stealing cars.
And notice, they are good at stealing the easy ones. If they were good crooks they’d be going after Lambos and Ferraris.
High time to recapture the language the culture and the country.
Ya just can’t make this stuff up.
The law in the US allowed them to skip immobilizers where Canada required them.
Where’s the accountability for Tik Tok teaching people how to steal cars?
