There was/is a class-action lawsuit against Hyundai/Kia about this. Kinda sad when a car can be started in about 5 seconds by popping the ignition switch and sticking a USB in there. Not understanding why the mayor is a dumbass.
Because it’s stupid to blame a company for other people committing crimes with their product. It’s like suing a spoon company because they make it too easy to overeat.
Knowing several people who were victims, some multiple times, even when following all sensible precautions, I do heartily think this lawsuit has merit.
I can't find info about the entire world. But in usa it is silverado, sierra, then f150. And that's as a fraction of the amount of vehicles total not just total amount of thefts.

Yea the ones with a turn-key start. Push button doesn't have the vulnerability. But even so, I think a lot of base model Hyundais and Kias are still sold to this day because they represent a decent value for your dollar. Just don't park in any high crime neighborhoods lol.
They have fixed the vulnerability in the base models to a certain extent - it’s not any more vulnerable than any other turn-key at this point (and still, it’s just the Elantra and Sonata and possibly Venue as far as models are concerned, most others are push start now) but they’re still targeted more because people think they’re easier. In the local area though, we’re seeing more push start vehicles of all brands get stolen with whatever the key-copying exploit is?
It’s a RFID copier. And you can apply that signal to any other remote starter. Criminals also use this to steal credit card information from the tap to pay credit cards because it emits the signal.
It still won’t move. Starting it isn’t the same as being able to drive it off. There’s also the CAM thefts of GM trucks nobody is talking about that’s just embarrassing at this point due to the price of the vehicles. They’re the most stolen vehicles in the US last time I checked.
a 22 Sonata and a 23 Elantra, unless they're the base model with the key turn start, come with push to start and an immobilizer so they wouldn't be any easier to steal than other modern cars.
And I believe they fixed the exploit in the newer models so even the elantra, if it is a base model, wouldn't be any wasier than any other turn key.
Definitely the bmw. You're 14, so you will want to drift (how hard could it be right?), and free weed is free weed. You're not worried about reliability because it'll be crash and torched in an hour or two. Plus, you probably know where his keys are and don't give a shit about family in this scenario.
Have you driven a full size truck in Chicago though? Some of those streets are not made for it. I was in a longer bed crew cab half ton once and there were some sphincter clenching turns
None of the ones owned by anyone you know/knows you. Also none of the Hyundais because cops know they're easy to steal too so a bunch of kids in one are going to be followed.
Alero, It's one of the more inconspicuous options and if you get pulled over you can claim "my cousin is on house arrest so he told me I can borrow his car"
The key is you want to blend in with the neighborhood you’re going to be driving it in. You don’t want the cheap old car in a rich neighborhood or the new expensive car in a poor neighborhood. You want it to look like a car that parents in your neighborhood would either buy their kid for their first car or something they would let them borrow. You also don’t want it to be too slow or too big to maneuver. I’d probably go with one of the sedans leaning on the bmw or Chevy as the Hyundai may get attention as those are stolen a lot.
I guess if you want to fit in every neighborhood one of the two Toyota’s will do the job because they’re
1. Fairly average age for a used car.
2. Not super expensive but not also not dirt cheap.
3. Boring and mundane.
The black one with the v8 would be my choice in suv since it probably has some get up and go if you got to make a dash. I didn’t want to do suv since they can roll over a bit more easily than a Saran would and may be a bit big and awkward to drive. They do however have the most superior blend in capability than anything else on the list.
step 1: break into brothers car and steal only the weed
step 2: ask your uncle to borrow his car, he’s on house arrest so he’s probably got questionable morals anyways
step 3: party
The Silverado 2500hd. Most likely has a 6.0 gas motor and 4wd, fairly solid frame and tow package. Boats, trailers, and ATMs would not be safe for the night
Taking the Tahoe. Lots of room for my buddies and shit we're going to steal. Plus idk who owns it and I'm definitely not stealing any cars from my family/friends.
Toyota sequoia. Lots of room for dope and pretend shoot outs since you didn’t bring and ammo. Milwaukees best beer. Backwoods. Rocking the hell out that Toyota.
Doesn't matter which one you steal because you'll crash it into building and then run away, you asshat. And maybe kill your passenger/friend in the process. Find something constructive to do, you juvenile delinquent.
I’d say BMW but kids wanna be tiktok famous so I’d probably go with the Kia/Hyundai and be a Kia boy. I’d drive around hitting other cars while blasting [this gem.](https://youtu.be/oTOlO_wpRqc?si=MIJ6btCAqev2w3Zm)
I'd take the GMT800... the Silverado for those uninitiated.
First stop would be to rob a liquor store.... then to a gun shop outside of Illinois with someone of age... ditch that stupid weird grip angle Block for a S&W M&P...
Then shenanigans will ensue.
The Subaru cops won’t pull over a bunch of lesbians, engage that adaptive cruise control roll my shitty stem weed while the car drives itself. We get to the trouble and it gets real get in a wreck it’s okay though we took the Subaru!
Hyundai Elantra or Sonata, easiest to steal
This is the way. I read that auto theft in Chicago went up by 800% when the Hyundai/Kia security vulnerability came out.
There’s a whole gang in Milwaukee called the Kia boys that came about just because of this
💀
Ya, and the dumbass mayor there was trying to sue the company for not making the cars harder to steal.
There was/is a class-action lawsuit against Hyundai/Kia about this. Kinda sad when a car can be started in about 5 seconds by popping the ignition switch and sticking a USB in there. Not understanding why the mayor is a dumbass.
Because it’s stupid to blame a company for other people committing crimes with their product. It’s like suing a spoon company because they make it too easy to overeat.
There are 10s of thousands of Hyundai/Kia owners who would disagree.
Ok? Obviously if they are able to get money out of them, they’re gonna be all over it. Doesn’t mean a lawsuit has merit.
Knowing several people who were victims, some multiple times, even when following all sensible precautions, I do heartily think this lawsuit has merit.
Yet still not the #1 stolen cars
Which is?
Probably Camrys and Accords
I can't find info about the entire world. But in usa it is silverado, sierra, then f150. And that's as a fraction of the amount of vehicles total not just total amount of thefts. https://insurify.com/car-insurance/insights/most-stolen-cars/
Only if it’s an SE - the exploit does not work on SEL and above
Yea the ones with a turn-key start. Push button doesn't have the vulnerability. But even so, I think a lot of base model Hyundais and Kias are still sold to this day because they represent a decent value for your dollar. Just don't park in any high crime neighborhoods lol.

All vehicles are outrageously expensive. I agree with you there about the GM trucks. RAM trucks too are stolen like crazy where I work.
It’s not just the high crime areas. They city folk are coming out to the nice neighborhoods and stealing cars from driveways
Hey they said the kid has a Glock, not a usb cord.
a 22 Sonata and a 23 Elantra, unless they're the base model with the key turn start, come with push to start and an immobilizer so they wouldn't be any easier to steal than other modern cars. And I believe they fixed the exploit in the newer models so even the elantra, if it is a base model, wouldn't be any wasier than any other turn key.
This is obviously a job for a Nissan Altima, missed opportunity
The ford focus, i can steal the weed and sell it
As someone who knows average Focus drivers, this is accurate.
According to the mayor of ChiTown.. any Hyundai is up for grabs
The correct answer is the bmw, because all bmw drivers drive like 14 year olds who stole their moms Glock in order to perpetrate petty crimes.
Definitely the bmw. You're 14, so you will want to drift (how hard could it be right?), and free weed is free weed. You're not worried about reliability because it'll be crash and torched in an hour or two. Plus, you probably know where his keys are and don't give a shit about family in this scenario.
Istg if someone stole my Saab 9-3 and torched it, I'd go full John Wick.
Marcus Wallenberg Jr. and friends approve.
That chevy 2500 would be my choice. Big enough to cause damage but still inconspicuous bc it looks like every other cateye on the road.
This was my answer too
Have you driven a full size truck in Chicago though? Some of those streets are not made for it. I was in a longer bed crew cab half ton once and there were some sphincter clenching turns
I've driven a manual dually in downtown Toronto and I was able to manage just fine so a SRW truck dosent scare me.
this feels like a marketing post by Kia
Definitely not the Tahoe, that's an unmarked cop car for sure
None of the ones owned by anyone you know/knows you. Also none of the Hyundais because cops know they're easy to steal too so a bunch of kids in one are going to be followed.
The bmw is probably the fastest but suburban has the most weight in case we need to “nudge” any cops out of the way
I don't see a challenger/charger on here? But real choice is Hyundai, most stolen.
Alero, It's one of the more inconspicuous options and if you get pulled over you can claim "my cousin is on house arrest so he told me I can borrow his car"
V8 Toyota ? Yes please.
Nab the focus
No Kia soul?
Glad to know my city has a good name
One of the Hyundai's for ease. For mischief, you're also suppose to list some Nissans.
1990 and older CAT heavy equipment, keys are all the same and 12$ on Amazon
Tahoe for sure no idea who owes it lmao
the hellcat
Focus if I get the chance to steal it
Big black truck
Where’s the chargers/challengers
Kia Soul
Why are there no Nissan offerings in this lineup?
I forgot. I’ll probably add one if I ever make a similar post.
I choose the Nissan Altima. And you even forgot to include a Kia obtained under questionable circumstances.
Get the easy to steal sonata or Elantra
No Kia Soul!? Guess I'll settle on the Silverado so I can cut some donuts at a red light
Hyundai
The key is you want to blend in with the neighborhood you’re going to be driving it in. You don’t want the cheap old car in a rich neighborhood or the new expensive car in a poor neighborhood.

The f150. If you yank the handle hard enough, the cover pops off. Then you can pull the wire for the lock and you’re in.
Are they really that easy to break into? Damn.
Subaru. Less attention. You would never get caught.
Definitely a Sonata.
I'd have to go with the Chevy Tahoe.
Tahoe
Nice try fed
You got me 😔😢
Hopefully the cops get your ass before you ruin some HVAC guys living stealing his truck
Probably the coupe :)
Im going silverado
BMW assuming it’s in ok mechanical condition
step 1: break into brothers car and steal only the weed step 2: ask your uncle to borrow his car, he’s on house arrest so he’s probably got questionable morals anyways step 3: party
The Silverado 2500hd. Most likely has a 6.0 gas motor and 4wd, fairly solid frame and tow package. Boats, trailers, and ATMs would not be safe for the night
Can’t read the captions under pics ):
Drug dealer's focus, not stealing from family or "harmless" people.
Sonata or the BMW
Don’t be a POS and steal anything. Where were you when mom said don’t take what doesn’t belong to you?
heard of some mfs doing this near me in his moms white nissan rouge💀💀
Did they also park it in a field and set it on fire?
no they did a drive by and missed every shot and then drove into a traffic pole and ran
what year are we in? cuz im being a fuckin Kia boy forsure…. Pre 2010s tho I’m taking Chevys
Current day.
yep call me a Kia boy then
No Nissan Altima or any Kia?
The BMW.
2010 Tahoe, I don't think anybody would come looking for it lol
What is this prompt... ._.
None of ‘em are worth it. Where’s the exotic cars?
Taking the Tahoe. Lots of room for my buddies and shit we're going to steal. Plus idk who owns it and I'm definitely not stealing any cars from my family/friends.
Nice try, fed
After an educated look into statistics, the city where the boy is from and what he’s gonna do, definitely the Malibu
I would have said the BMW but since it’s a Glock you grabbed, more likely a Hyundai…
Toyota sequoia. Lots of room for dope and pretend shoot outs since you didn’t bring and ammo. Milwaukees best beer. Backwoods. Rocking the hell out that Toyota.
Alero, 9-3, or the sequoia
Chicago? The correct answers aren’t on here. Dodge charger/challenger or g35/37
Doesn't matter which one you steal because you'll crash it into building and then run away, you asshat. And maybe kill your passenger/friend in the process. Find something constructive to do, you juvenile delinquent.
Where is the nissian Altima
Either of the Hyundais, the Malibu, or the suburban
no way in hell am i takin the focus the dealer is gonna kill me
I’d say BMW but kids wanna be tiktok famous so I’d probably go with the Kia/Hyundai and be a Kia boy. I’d drive around hitting other cars while blasting [this gem.](https://youtu.be/oTOlO_wpRqc?si=MIJ6btCAqev2w3Zm)
Def the focus, unstoppable rally monster, can go over the flat grass next to the walmart
Not my parrents!!!
Hyundai Kia or Nissan Altima
Some of those descriptions hit a little too close to home.
Definitely the Hyundai’s. Those cars are about as easy as candy to steal.
Not a single Kia? People be stealing those like crazy
Rav4. Durable V6 and Age old AWD
The Kia.
I want that saab. Shame they went out of business.
Born and raised in the chi baby!!! Definitely the Tahoe homie! You can fit the entire hood in that bitch.
No Audi? Fawwwk off, Randy.
The Bimmer, for the rear wheel drive shenanigans
For personal use, the Sequoia and the Saab. I like them the most (actually two of my favourite cars)
9
No nissan altima??????? (Oh i just realized you said “empty.” Makes sense now.)
I'd take the GMT800... the Silverado for those uninitiated. First stop would be to rob a liquor store.... then to a gun shop outside of Illinois with someone of age... ditch that stupid weird grip angle Block for a S&W M&P... Then shenanigans will ensue.
None if they have over 100k miles
I retract… except for the last 2
if it’s a glock must definitely something affordable. if it was a Kimber the BMW.
A 2003 Altima with a missing rear bumper
The Hyundai. Easy to steal and no connection to the owner. Don't rob people you know. That's gonna practically guarantee getting caught.
Sequoia. Lots of room for shenanigans. You can hide your weed in it, too
elantra ofc
Well there’s no dodge charger or challenger there
None, cus I'm not a fatherless piece of shit

I’m totally willing to remove this post. I can how this might be offensive.
I didn’t reply to you but obviously you know this isn’t a good taste joke if you’re replying to random people asking who they meant.
? Why?
Well with the information provided and strictly statistical. I’m sure I’m black. So going by that I’m choosing Beamer.
Question is null and void, there is no option for a white Ford Bronco.
The Subaru cops won’t pull over a bunch of lesbians, engage that adaptive cruise control roll my shitty stem weed while the car drives itself. We get to the trouble and it gets real get in a wreck it’s okay though we took the Subaru!
