Drivers in San Francisco have a lot to worry about, but some may be able to strike"car stolen by teenagers for TikTok views" off the list.
The"Kia Boys" of Milwaukee demonstrated how to take advantage of the manufacturing security oversight in Kia and Hyundai models from the 2010's using a screwdriver and a USB cord, starting the car in under a minute. To make matters worse, some of the windows were not attached to the car's security system, meaning they would not trigger the alarm if broken."We get like five calls a day," said Sean Stephens, owner of Berkeley Bob's Auto Repair.
In San Francisco, the months following the video's release corresponded with a slight uptick in motorized vehicle theft, according to data from the SF Police Department. There were about 6,300 cars stolen in The City in 2022, up about 4% from 2021. The department was not able to specify what brands of car were most affected by time of press.
"We have prioritized the upgrade’s availability for owners and lessees of our highest selling vehicles and those most targeted by thieves in order for dealers to service them first," said Randy Parker, CEO of Hyundai's American operations.
