- Thieves are targeting certain makes and models of 2010-2021 Kia and Hyundai vehicles that use a mechanical key, not a key fob and push-button to start the car.
- The thieves are mainly young teens who use a USB cord to hot wire the car.
- They post videos stealing and driving the cars on social media using the hashtag “Kia Boys” — which has more than 33 million views on TikTok.
