This was the third time the woman said her Kia was stolen from outside her home since 2019.
MILWAUKEE (CNN) - A woman in Milwaukee says her Kia has been stolen three times, even after she installed a free security upgrade meant to prevent this crime from happening.
The first thing they did was offer free steering wheel locks. Yes, I believe LPL got his hands on one and showed how cheaply made and easily bypassed it is. Since then, they’ve also offered a reinforced ignition cylinder and a software update that is supposed to not allow the car to start without the key in the ignition. I don’t know why they haven’t just retro-fitted the cars with an immobilizer circuit, the lack of which is what started this whole thing. The software update obviously isn’t doing the same job.
That “security upgrade” - wasn’t that featured by the Lockpicking Lawyer? IIRC he took only seconds to unlock it.
