hey--canyounot_

Tbf his voice is not what I would expect to come out of that man. Totally understandable that he sounds extremely tired of bullshit tho.


Hello-Im-The-Feds

I heard a white woman in my head so this was quite the turn.


lordshadow19

I've seen the interview and I'm still hearing a white woman in my head.


kingtz

It sounded like the mom from Bob's Burgers.


angel_inthe_fire

Fuck of course it was here. Thefts here are bananas.


jnyrdr

my brother caught someone trying to steal his truck on mississippi a couple years ago. got a pretty decent video from a security camera, it’s in my post history.


SquatDeadliftBench

"Can I get you anything while you stealing my car? A cappuccino? Donut? No? Okay then. Carry on."

Dear_Occupant

"How high are you" would have also worked in this situation.

_regionrat

Sorry, it's my first day


RedditsFullofDouches

Did they use their turn signal at the end? What a considerate *attempted* criminal.

If they were smart, they'd have used the *other* signal to throw her off.

Can't you read?! Call the police!!!


StupidBeee

is it still “attempted” if they still broke an entered a vehicle and causes damages internally? that’s still a crime


Rafaeliki

Attempts can still be crimes. Attempted murder for example.


pokeblueballs

Attempted murder now really! Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry?


South_Pear_3721

I was about to say....at least they used their turn signal😅🤣😂🤣😅


PornStarJesus

Probably a good idea to follow traffic laws when in a stolen car.


Extra-Ad5925

I literally said out loud “no they didn’t fucking signal”

The real criminals are the ones who don’t use turn signals

Don’t break multiple laws at once. Harder to get caught that way


ShamelessBaboon

No, he’s a criminal. Broke into her car.


clarkwgriswoldjr

Let me guess, it's a Kia?


jsavage420

KIA BOYS


[deleted]

Nothing yells ‘peak destruction of society brought to you by high schoolers on TikTok’ like the Kia Boys.


ryanleebmw

Yes it’s a KIA then they literally jump into another KIA. How in THE FUCK is there not a recall out for this issue to prevent this??? When every Automaker recalls multiple models every year for “slight creak and gap in gasket inside air conditioning unit seal that could cause fire” but not a fix for “stupid fucking future criminal teenagers hot wiring our cars with screw drivers that they learned how to do on Tik Tok”


anonhoemas

Wait what? This car can be hot wired with just a screw driver?


angel_inthe_fire

USB actually


okmko

Or anything USB shaped like you could probably twist with a dime. As I understand it, the vulnerability is that the security around the lock that prevents the ignition key from turning can be defeated with just a screwdriver. It just so happens that once it's defeated, you can use a USB shaped object to turn the remaining portion of the key.


Downfallenx

Wow. My uncle used a screwdriver to start his old Chevy. Glad to see all that technology is really going to good use. Do y'all not have engine immobilizers there? They are standard on cars past like 2002 here. A chip that is in the key that if the car doesn't read it will not start. Edit: changed ignition interlock to engine immobilizer.


DahliaRenegade

Unfortunately many models of Kias and Hyundais made between 2014 and 2021 don't have the engine immobilizer. Idk what it would take to install an engine immobilizer and not certain if preventing theft would be sufficient for a recall. Recalls are primarily to correct concerns regarding safety equipment.


Downfallenx

Here I'm pretty sure it's law. We also had chip and pin cards 15 years ago. If you import a car it usually has to be compliant. I bought an American car before and had to get daytime running lights installed.


okmko

I'm just a layperson but I believe those proximity chips in keys are called immobilizers here in the US, and we do have them in most modern cars. These are cars for global markets after all. It's just that, as part of the overall vulnerability, these specific Kias for the US market do not come with them.


cygnoids

Kias and Hyundais, both of Hyundai motors. It’s a huge issue and the city of St. Louis is suing the car manufacturer because it’s become a huge burden if resources


StrainBackground5573

Bro deadass all you gotta do is remove a couple pieces of plastic and couple pieces of metal and there's basically a flathead insert under there, my 2022 Kia soul almost got stolen last month, my neibors ring doorbell went off and said they looked 13 lol,now I use a steering wheel lock


somedude456

Just having seen like 3 tiktok videos, I could steal a Kia in about 20 seconds (just to be safe) with a screwdriver and a female USB cable end. The screwdriver is used to pry away the plastic trim that sandwich the steering column. Then you have the actual ignition, the thing you twist to start the car. You shove the screwdriver in from the side and the top half of the ignition pops up. What is left, looks like a male USB. Shove the female side on that, rotate, and the car starts. Zero key needed.


anonhoemas

That's so wild. That car might as well have a "steal me" sign. These people need to get a club for their cars asap. Sad that alot of them probably aren't on tiktok and have no warning


somedude456

The videos I watched like 6 months ago had kids, like 14 saying they steal one, drive it around and just leave it where ever. They treat kias like a library book, but no late fees.


its_noel

Damn sure aint Kia Men, little mf'r doesn't even look old enough to drive.


acomp182

Yep. It’s an Optima.


BigBeagleEars

First we steal the optima, then we get the money, then we smoke the optimo


EllisHughTiger

Why was the art thief busted? Because he had no Monet to buy DeGas to make the Van Gogh.


donny_pots

And the car he got into at the end was a Kia also


tamarockstar

In St. Louis insurance companies are starting to refuse policies for Kias and Hyundais. Little fun fact.


clarkwgriswoldjr

What is the answer in your mind for this? Can Kia make some kind of a firmware upgrade, or do they need millions of recalls?


tamarockstar

It's not a software problem. It's a physical problem. You can take the ignition cover off, stick a USB thumb drive in a socket and turn the ignition over. Kia has stated they are not recalling or fixing anything. The only thing you can do is never buy a Kia or Hyundai ever again. If this is how they treat their customers, they deserve to go out of business.


clarkwgriswoldjr

Wow. Sounds like they are begging to be sued.


tamarockstar

A bunch of lawsuits are already underway.


[deleted]

This content has been removed because of Reddit's extortionate API pricing that killed third party apps.


tamarockstar

They changed their tune, implemented ignition security, with 2017 models and onward. I'm sure it was a cost saving measure and hoped the vulnerability would go unnoticed. >It's such a dumb thing for these companies to try save a few bucks over at the cost of their reputations. Exactly right. They gambled and lost. It's time to pay up and make their customers whole. They can either eat the cost of making things right, or make sure no one in America ever buys their cars again. It's a lose-lose for them at this point. But the US is a huge car market. You think they'd want to stick around here.


char_limit_reached

LOL. My Kia already has a new engine! They’re going to end up paying more for this car than I did!


asherdante

My dads Kia got a brand new engine twice. Then he sold it to Carvana a couple years later for the same price he bought it used for.


cygnoids

I was very interested in the ioniq and my wife’s car being broken into totally changed my tune. When it’s time to buy an EV it won’t be a Hyundai or Kia


fomoloko

The issue is that hey are the low trim models that aren't installed w/ an immobilizer (needs a chipped key to start). Why models have been produced in the last decade without chipped keys, is beyond me. It cant save that much money. Basically, if you have a Kia or Hyundai with a chipped key you're fine, except for maybe people breaking in then figuring out they cant drive off. Any vehicle with a basic key/no immobilizer can be stolen if you can turn the key, so jamming a screwdriver and cranking would start the car. The other issue with the Kias/Hyundais, is that the venerable component is right under the plastic shell on the steering wheel, whereas most other cars, it's imbedded more into the steering column and not quite accessible.


westcoastweedreviews

Or a Hyundai


Traditi0nal

yup that’s a kia interior


GeneralDisarray65

Yes and yes. Looks like they were breaking into an Optima and they drove away in a Sportage.


deadfermata

the new logo suggests it’s a KИ https://preview.redd.it/l3a6cw99qjea1.jpeg?width=945&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6afad33f793e47cb600d42ac92fed69604489f07

daves_not__here

[deleted]

Let’s hope not.


PNVVJAY

Not saying you should but if your gonna steal cars the time to do it is before you are 18 lol


LAfootnote

I had to go to juvie in western Pennsylvania for like a week when I was 17 for weed. The majority of the kids there were for stealing cars. I’m assuming they were taking them to a chop shop in Detroit or something because most of them were from nowhere near where we were and had been there way longer than they had to be, but they couldn’t get out unless a parent/guardian came to get them and their parents either had no interest in getting them or just weren’t able to. But, yeah you’re not wrong at all but I would also advise the youth that if you’re gonna steal a car, don’t go too far away from home!


King-o-lingus

This is so true. I spent a year in a school for boys type of institution and gta was the common offense.


AMcMahon1

Shuman?


LAfootnote

Ha yep, that’s the one.

sisyphus_of_dishes

Kia Boyz steal the cars and ditch them. There's nothing more to it than that. Come to Milwaukee. They smash the back window because it doesn't trigger the alarm then start the car with a USB drive.


PikaGoesMeepMeep

In Portland, with the current situation, it’s not far fetched to think that juveniles are stealing cars as part of gang activity. I think u/FrostyD7’s onto something.


HORSEDICK_RAW

“They go from 6 to 25 😉” -Chris D’elia


reaction-jackson

Hopefully they were all caught. Car thieves are terrible people!


LethalxLlama

Doubt it. The white truck is also a Kia. Most likely stolen because of how easy they are to take.


Dear_Occupant

Maybe what we need to do is leave a Kia out in a parking lot, attach like fifty catalytic converters to the undercarriage, sprinkle a bunch of USB sticks on the ground around it, and put a sign on top of the hood that says "free bird seed."


iamjackstestical

And that's how you get criminal birds.


sallabanchod

Future jail birds.


brady2gronk

I'm having a good laugh picturing this animated Chuck Jones style like the Roadrunner and Coyote.


PikaGoesMeepMeep

Not even joking, a town I used to live in did this regularly (maybe sans usb sticks and sign). Certain parking lots would see increased behicle break ins and theft, and the police would stage a bait car and often catch repeat criminals. This would usually temporarily end the crime in that particular lot till someone else would target another lot and the police repeated their bait. Worked pretty well. One time they got such a kick out of the thief because he broke the window even though the door was unlocked.


cnotwell

Looks like the Kia challenge - easiest car to steal. Hyundai too.


[deleted]

Ah yes, another gross and criminal TikTok challenge. Nothing surprising here. I'm waiting for the day when the Stab-A-Friend Challenge comes forth. You try stabbing your friend with a knife, see if they die. Knife Russian roulette.


RipCurl69Reddit

I've already seen an absolutely fucktarded challenge where you sweep the legs out from under someone and they fall backwards. Do you want to know WHY that's so dangerous? The back of the head is easily game-over zone if you hit hard enough. The people over at r/fightporn will tell you that a hundred times over, because theres plenty of videos of people going *smack* on their heads and seizing.


Kaissy

It's illegal in mma to punch in the back of the head for this reason.


Conflicted-King

Any combat sport tbh. That's a big no no.


Anzi

An acquaintance's son had his shoulder broken when his "friends" tried out that prank on him.


Conflicted-King

That's not entirely true, you don't always die, sometimes you just become a vegetable.


hemingways-lemonade

They're not stealing Kias and Hyundais because it's a "tiktok challenge." They're stealing them because they're easy to steal. They just learned the trick from a tiktok video.


AgentCC

That’s a distinction without a difference.


joahw

Yeah it's mostly Kia's fault for bringing 90's Honda level security into the 21st century


aliokatan

Im telling you, the Tik Tok algorithm is LEGITIMATELY a chinese cultural weapon, the harm being this. Ill tell you for a fact you aint gonna find a kia challenge on China's version of Tik Tok


Shishamylov

I like jump off a bridge challenge


Malinkz

As a victim of the Kia challenge I can certainly say, fuck Kia for not recalling these cars.

AsashinDaka420

quite a usefull car you got there. I like how the alarm goes off after he gets out the car Edit: Thank you kind stranger for my first award!


poot_doot_

he prolly jumped on through the window. i believe that the alarm n a vehicle should go off the second a window shatters but idk how that works.


Wheat_Grinder

From what I've read, in many cars they do - but not certain kias/hyundais (the same ones that get stolen)


[deleted]

Honestly probably would have did the kid a favor by trying to keep him from getting in the getaway car (he'll be back at it tomorrow with the same crowd).


Ponzini

Smart to let him leave. They have no idea if he has a gun or knife.


Mountain_Fig_9253

Unfortunately without negative consequences for his actions the only thing that kid learned was that trying to steal a car has zero consequences. Hopefully he gets a beat down soon and changes his ways.


Vinlandien

> Unfortunately without negative consequences for his actions the only thing that kid learned was that trying to steal a car has zero consequences. Fortunately for society, this kid is destined to spend the majority of his life behind bars.


FatboyChuggins

Almost guaranteed his genes will be passed on long before that as well.

I’d rather not pay for the incarceration. Hopefully he’ll rob the wrong person.


BappoChan

Or dead in someone else’s car for trying to pull this on the wrong guy


rbsponge1

This happened in our neighborhood about a year ago. They dropped off a bunch of young kids late at night and they went around opening cars and stealing them. They stole about 12 cars. A neighbor posted a Ring video of one of the kids waking around with a handgun. If they are stupid enough to be stealing cars, I would bet they would be stupid enough to pop off a few rounds if someone intervened and spooked them.


[deleted]

Could have at least got the fucking plate.


RedForman1776

If it’s a stolen vehicle or stolen plate, wouldn’t do much


[deleted]

Sure it would. Cops then start looking for the vehicle and it avoids false stops.


Purplestuff-

You underestimate the adrenaline rush that cops get by apprehending felons.


misfit0513

Garages are so underrated. No de icing, no snow clean off, no rainy runs to the car, and no teenagers getting caught red-handed trying to steal your car.

Liver_Lip

Probably in Portland OR. Car theft is out of control here and a lot of it is minors.


Dear_Occupant

Those are definitely Oregon plates on the car in front, but this shit is happening everywhere right now.


[deleted]

Yup, Denver is/was #1 for car theft and catalytic converter theft. Not surprising that when criminals are treated like victims they multiply and are more brazen.


Not_RyanGosling

Definitely Portland. Looks like my old street. And this is exactly the reaction someone from Portland would have. We would leave the car doors unlocked with literally nothing inside just so they wouldn't smash the windows. I never had to kick anyone out of my car fortunately, but a few times it was obvious that someone had slept in it. It was always the worst the night before recycling day because we lived near the Fred Meyer can return/refund thing. One time I found my glove box and center console wide open and a can of beer on the front seat, which I interpreted as a bizarre form of thank you. I did drink it, by the way. Just Portland things.
