What about smashing car windows, why can’t we sue them for making glass not bulletproof
Instead of facing the problem and ask, why people steal and what makes them steal and what can we do about it
No different then what they are doing to gun companies
So the insurance companies assume there isn't any needles stuck/buried in the car seats?
Good Luck with your HIV or HEP B diagnosis.
What do you expect when you defund the police, and don’t hold anyone accountable for their actions…
And just like that, the very people that say that it's wrong to hold gun manufacturers liable for gun violence are telling us that it's just fine to hold car manufacturers liable because cars are being stolen.
Only ignorant poor people own Kia or Hyundai 👎🏻
Why are car companies being held accountable for car thefts? Why aren't those who are stealing the cars being held responsible? Wasn't there a time in our history where people were hung for stealing horses? As dramatic as this sounds, maybe we should bring that back.
Shocked they not go after tik tok for allowing the videos to be postd to the app to show how to do in the first place. so if videos like so are not blocked or removed it wont stop
Don't be surprised if your recovered theft Hyundai/Kia gets stolen again while it is at the body shop for repairs.
People distributing illegal act videos and tutorials need to be charged with accessory to theft and tiktok has their account banned and their number permantly unable to sign up again. 40% of these crimes are kids committng these crimes for the first time thinking its fun, but don't have burner phones yet. So their family plan provider will be notifying their family their kids partakes in distrbution of criminal activty and have their parents deal with them.
Asian kids are too afraid to do something that their Dad will find out. Asian Dad's have 30 different torture devices to hit you with.
federal standards are severely lacking. not only in car thefts but in credit card skimmers as well.
Korean cars, no surprise
The media is to blame, after airing the vulnerability weeks ago. 😑
The first mistake that was made in this situation was buying a Kia and Hyundai in the first place.
Blame American laws. In Canada it has been required to have immobilizers for decades now. The Hyundai's and kias here aren't getting stolen.
Rather than suing the car companies, how about suing and banning tiktok instead? The problems were there because tiktok failed to regulate/censor content isnt it?
Tiktok spread the way to steal these cars.
Sorry wrote comment before watching video haha
00:35 Very "Punny" NBC.. "As for what's DRIVING this:" ……
Hyundai, Kia and Dodge are the easiest cars to steal and the most stolen cars.
Glad I have a 2003 lincoln aviator
Anything to do with worsening economic conditions and the high rate of youth unemployment?
Buying a car is the first mistake.
Wait so let’s blame the car makers and not the people that are stealing them 🤔sounds just bout right for America🙃
