Hey guys, 
I drive a Kia, and lately, I have been hearing about so many of them getting stolen! Why are Kias being targeted so much more now? Is it something with their security, or are they just easier to steal? I’m starting to worry about my own car, should I be doing anything extra to keep it safe? Any tips from other Kia owners? 
The main culprits are often young people who’ve figured out how to easily bypass the immobilizer system in many Kia models.
Adding a steering wheel lock is a quick and effective deterrent. Parking in well-lit areas and using a car alarm can also help.
Keep an eye on Kia news for updates on security improvements.
Immobligators in the key fobs are installed on all Kias starting in late 2022 to increase the difficulty of auto theft. But if you work hard enough, you can steal any car.
Kias are stolen often because they lack advanced immobilization technology. In many cars, the steering wheel locks, or the vehicle won’t start without the key. Hyundai and Kia models may not have this feature, making them easier to steal.
According to my brother, only Kias with real metal keys are vulnerable to theft.
