Remember that time Hyundai cars could be stolen by a teen with a screwdriver? My roommate 's car was stolen by a 16 yr old. Mine was stolen and used to steal 3 more cars at gun point according to the FBI agent that called me.

Fuck Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, and anybody else owned by the same assholes who let this happen.

This is funny because every developed nation has regulations for needing immobilisers. Canada has needed immobilisers in cars since 2007 and the Kia theft issue didn't exist.

I’m half and half on that. Even my 2003 Chrysler had an immobilizer despite there not being a regulation. So while I can see being upset at the lack of regulation I also fully blame Kia for cheaping out.
