The sad thing is that the people doing this and getting caught are probably out of jail the next day to cause more havoc.

You do know they can start a Kia with a USB plug, right? That should be the story. Google it. 🤔

All these crimes will continue and get worse because the system is soft on crime.

I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t take their car key with them

Because we are lazy ? 😂😂. Because the government and the police didn’t protect our property, didn’t hit the criminals hard.

I know, what if we punished criminals and put them in prison.

Drive a manual. That’s how you keep it from being stolen.

Is my Toyota Corrolla safe ? I know it’s not a Benz I’m just so scarred nowadays with the car jackings 😢.

If someone bumps my car, I put it in park, turn off the engine, get out (lock the door) and walk straight to the back of their car and take a pic of their license plate then call cops before I even speak to anyone —also, manual. And if they act up, I'm throwing thumb tack in front of their tires.

But if you really want your car to be thief proof, stick wires out of the ac controller and put a sign that says broken ac. lol I once had a car that had no radio, no ac, and no power steering. It sucked bc we 100º - 106º summers while commuting to school but I never had to worry about someone messing with it.

Live in a fenced yard with gate and lock can help. Somewhere private

my car was stolen recently it was a pos impala they most likely couldnt figure out my cursed a/c system and the humid weather here from the farmland most likey caused them to fog up and crash into something which destroyed my tire. funny enough they brought it back and left it nearby my apartment

[javier]

Anyone else notice the car thieves are citizens of Wakanda.

Remove the garage code with the number pad on the outside completely, you don't need it, use your phone to open you garage instead. Don't make it easy for them.
