Viral TikTok trend linked to several KIA and Hyundai vehicle thefts across U.S. - Kids are dumb

Well it looks like a new trend on TikTok is happening, where teens are stealing KIA and Hyundai cars while using a USB cord. I don't quite understand how they steal the cars with a USB cord, as the cars in question use keys to get in. After they steal the vehicle, they will then do a tiktok video announcing they stole the car with the hashtag "Kia Boys."

The big reason I guess they're able to steal these cars so easily, is due to not having a immobilizer system implemented, which stops people from using anything but the keys.

What is it with the youth and literally incriminating themselves to get some clout on social media?

They break in through one of the back windows to gain access to the interior. After that, anything will work to crank up the car. They pop off the part where the key goes into the ignition. Most people have a spare USB cord on hand, or in their cars.

    I’m glad I got rid of my Kia. I loved that car but it was a mechanical POS.

    I never liked KIA or Hyundai cars. I can't say that I'm not worried nonetheless because this is something that shouldn't be happening but it's happening. Kids needs to have more regards for their parents and not get into acts that's capable of ruining their lives forever.

    I used to drive a Hyundai and traded it in for a Ford. I got one of those Fusions.

    I have to say it... TikTok and other social media platforms is bringing the worst out of people and encouraging people to be destructive. Not only to themselves but to their own communities. We are in the fall of Rome 2.0 and it is time to buckle up. Drag shows with kids being normalized should have been enough of a wake-up call for people. When filth and self-destruction are being celebrated, that is a sign a society is facing collapse.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These TikTok trends are getting worse every damn year. Reminds me of this young white boy who ended up murdering his neighbor for views on Instagram if I remember correctly.
    This is part of the reason why I really hate on that stupid application called TikTok. The level of nonsense that's going on in the application is far more higher than the reasonable things happening with it.
