Thieves on the prowl

[sinclair1]

I just read Hyundai cheaped out and didn’t use chipped keys. The thugs figured out you can steal the oldschool way by jamming a screw driver in there.
Better park that Hyundai in the garage if you’re a joneses with one of those fancy garages.

This glitch in Hyundais and Kias makes them easy to steal

Some Kia and Hyundai cars that use traditional keys are easier to steal because they don't have a chip that stops the car from starting without a key.

If it's one with the Theta engine, probably best to keep it insured and let the thief deal with the inevitable rod knock.

I saw one of those 30 second videos the other day of a guy stealing a Kia.

They just bust the plastic collar off the steering column with a flat head screwdriver, pry away the pot metal collar around the ignition switch and stick the screwdriver in the slot and twist it to crank.

You could probably do it in under 10 seconds.

Once lost THE key to a old Ford Ranger I inherited from my Grand Pa and that's the only way I had to crank it for the next 4 years. Sold the screwdriver with the truck.

Police responded around 12:30 a.m. about a car break-in off to Vineyard Drive in southeast Atlanta. The victim said he saw a young man trying to break into his mother’s car.

The victim said the suspect started shooting at him and he returned fire. The man got into the passenger side of a white SUV nearby. Someone inside the SUV fired more shots toward the victim, who once again shot back.
