It comes amid a wave of thefts of Kia and Hyundai vehicles in the Twin Cities and nationally. Some of the thefts have been linked to viral social media videos that show certain Kia and Hyundai models can be started using a USB cable.
It’s a thing. I follow a couple of different Twitter accounts that report all the real crime going on in the Twin Cities. Stuff that local media ignores. You would not believe the number of Kias and Hyundais that are stolen EVERY day.
Or a pair of pliers...
