The world of car theft has been turned upside down by the Kia boys, who have mastered the art of exploiting old Kia and Hyundai models lacking immobilizers. Social media platforms like Tik Tok have become breeding grounds for tutorials on how to easily steal cars, leading to a surge in thefts. The top 10 most stolen cars list features the Hyundai Elantra at the top spot, prized by thieves for its vulnerability to hotwiring and lack of security features. Following closely is the Hyundai Sonata, sharing similar weaknesses with the Elantra but slightly less stolen due to its higher price tag.
Kia Optima makes an appearance on the list due to its easy-to-bypass ignition system and locking mechanisms in older models. The Chevy Silverado 1500 stands out as a popular target for thieves, especially with the rise in truck appreciation and the ability to bypass security systems using apps like OnStar. The iconic Kia Soul, known as the hamster mobile, is a favorite among thieves for its simple ignition cylinder that can be forced with a screwdriver. Honda Accord and Civic, both popular models, are targeted for their lack of security measures, making them easy prey for carjackers looking to make a quick buck by selling parts. Ford F-150, a bestseller in America, falls victim to thieves exploiting keyless entry systems and bypassing ignition systems. Lastly, the Kia Sportage rounds out the list, showcasing the widespread issue of car thefts and the importance of investing in anti-theft measures to protect your vehicle.
