I just looked up how freaking easy it is to steal a Kia. Pop the plastic cover off the steering wheel area and use a USB stick to simply turn the ignition to run. Wow. Stupid simple.

A couple of years ago when the “TikTok Kia boyz” was getting started (in St. Louis??) I rigged up my Hyundai with two kill switches to keep it from being started. Added a “Club” as a visual deterrent to hopefully avoid the broken window and torn-up ignition.

I still need to get it in to fix the security problem, and I think there is an air-bag recall on it too. Last I checked it was a 6-week wait for an appointment at the dealer.
