Someone broke into my Seltos... Is it totaled?





That’s crazy. Why didn’t they just break the window and pull the handle? I thought everyone knew the Seltos is too new to steal.

Yeah, I thought the same. Lots of junkies in my area unfortunately, so maybe that explains it.

Nope, Seattle.

My cousin lives there. He says it’s a bit better than San Francisco.

Yeah, I never had an issue until we moved to this new place. The garage gate lets people see inside. In 7 months, we’ve had three incidents.

Definitely a junkie. Not a professional at all.

Probably because it’s not as loud.

Why not just smash the window? Seems weird.

Smart people don’t try stealing cars, only dumb people do stuff like this.

Guess they didn’t watch any Kia Boyz videos or just didn’t get how it works.

Actually, they might not be as dumb as you think. My Kia triggers the alarm if you try to open the door from the inside when it’s locked.

Looks like they tried really hard to break in.

I’m really sorry this happened to you.

This is going to cost a lot, mostly bodywork. They’ll say you need new doors, quarter panels, and then the paint job. I had a similar thing happen with my Kia. The repair quote was nearly $9k, but I fixed it myself and saved the money. It’s not perfect, but I don’t mind.

@terryann
I got rear-ended by a teen on his phone in March. They did over $8k of damage, had to replace the whole back hatch.

They left so many fingerprints… what a genius.

Yeah, but none that the police could actually use. It’s crazy.

People can be the worst…
