Viral "Kia Challenge" videos posted to TikTok and YouTube have led to an increase in car thefts around the country as the instructional videos share the steps of how to steal a car using only a USB charging cord.
The videos, posted online by accounts including 414HypeHouse, show car thieves targeting unlocked Kia and Hyundai vehicles, removing the under-column cowl near the steering wheel and using a USB cord to start the stolen cars. Some videos show the thieves — called "Kia Boys" — riding around in the stolen cars and crashing or dumping them.

And as a side note, this “challenge” seems to have started on TikTok, then moved to other social media platforms. Trump warned the country about TikTok. Once again, Trump was right.
Would this be a RICO crime?
Solo if a car can be hot wired with a USB cable what about voting machines? ... I’m just saying.....
Well, here’s one way to look at it:
You can hot-wire a Kia with a USB cable. That’s a design flaw.
But if you can hot-wire a voting machine with a USB cable, that’s a feature.

Not even analogous. You don’t even have to break into voting machines if you are working with the local election officials and coordinating with the DNC’s shadow groups. They’ll let you right in and your changes will be coordinated.
A usb hack into a kia/hyundai still requires you to enter the vehicle and break the stearing collumn
TikTok a Chinese 5th column in America.
If those frauding voting machines are killed outright, the crimes against the Republic will cease.
Voting fraudsters have forfeited their right to life
If Conservatives nationwide were to coordinate and announce - via a ‘leak’ designed to get an announcement from DHS - days before the election that various types of electronic voting machines had been hacked...
...we might very well have the most secure election in history when they’re pulled from use.
Is there a USB port under the column cowl? What on Earth for?
How does one unlock the steering without a key or removing the lock mechanism?
My Hyundai doesn’t have remote locks ,LOL
Modern Kias (and many others) don’t use keys any longer. Just push-button starting.
Some stripper trims still have keys.
Buy a base trim.
The same way they've been doing it since the steering wheel lock was introduced. They either remove it they have time, or brute-force it if they don't. It's not a very big pin.
Yep, but nothing has bee done about it in Congress. They are too focused on investigating a trespass event and enjoying million dollar junkets to Taiwan at taxpayer expense.
Too late the Soros cheat machines are in EVERY swing state and they aren’t going anywhere

As others have noted, TikTok is a ChiCom front organization. If the American people knew just how much ChiCom money influences Congress, there’d be a revolution tomorrow.
Here’s an example. Republican leader Mitch McConnell and his wife received a gift of at least $5 million from the wife’s father. And the father has VERY close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Nobody cares.

Our government has become almost 100% corrupt and almost 100% worthless and nobody seems to care. I think having a divided country is what they sought all along because it protects them.
Agree and history will repeat itself.
Do I need to look at the demographics of those accepting this “Challenge”?
