Mass media quite widespread epidemics of car thefts of South Korean brands Kia and Hyundai. Surprisingly, the start of car thefts was given on social networks, where videos began to appear with detailed and descriptions of theft technologies. The vast majority of “educational” videos were posted by teenagers. In them, they often find themselves at the time of stealing other people’s cars. After a short time, the hijackings turned into Challenges, and the geography of thefts was delivered almost against.
Teenage hijackers gathered in a certain “club” called “Kia Boys”, membership in which can be confirmed by selecting a video with the necessary content. At the same time, the hijackings were in no way connected with the obvious or thirst for life. Teenagers simply rode on “gone cars” and drank alcohol in them. Often, they were caught in extreme weather. One of them was caught and damaged just after the accident. It remains only to understand why cars have become so popular with car thieves.
The popularity of use is quite simple – companies sought to save money and did not equip their cars with modern ones. My efficiency is low and system security. In the United States, the law does not prohibit the sale of cars without an immobilizer, although such a ban exists in neighboring Canada. To steal a Kia or Hyundai car, it is enough to break the glass, partially disassemble the steering column and the connector. Disconnect the USB-A cable. After that, the car can be started and left on it, leaving the owner at a loss.
The New York authorities filed a well-deserved lawsuit against Kia and Hyundai. The company faced with the victims of theft about 200 million dollars. Several American cities also run the administration. If you do not take into account the possibility of stealing x cars, they complicate it. It’s not exactly an unobtrusive order, not the complex and security that users purchase for their machines.
