I guess the thieves know how to easily steal them.
I know in Toronto the top three stolen SUVs are Lexus RX, Honda CRV and Toyota SUVs. These guys use the stuff to get the signal from your keys in the house and many of them are caught on Camera. That doesn't stop them.

Car thieves go on crime spree in Scarborough
More than 50 vehicles have been stolen in Scarborough over the past month. Thirty of those thefts happened over the past nine days in many neighbourhoods close to Hwy 401.
Yep, Hyundai/Kia knows they have a problem. Which is why now all their vehicles come with a vehicle immobilizer in 2022. I assumed all cars came standard with immobilizers years ago, but I was wrong.

****, I was just there last month with my Kia Soul. Always wonder whether it's a relative small amount of scofflaws who account for these major blips. A mega-shoplifter was recently arrested in St. Louis when police noticed that he was openly moving his swag on Facebook. "That’s when “Operation No Moore” went into play. Chesterfield Police wrote a search warrant and presented it to Facebook, which provided more than 39,000 pages about nothing other than stealing." This boob had a store in his mother's basement.

Facebook helps find accused serial St. Louis shoplifter running a big business from his mom’s basement
The name Terrell Moore might not ring a bell. But Moore, 27, is well-known to police throughout the St. Louis area, particularly in communities where there is a shopping mall.

I had no idea there were any models made without immobilizers in 2021. That is a significant increase and once word gets out among the youth on how to do it that spreads like wildfire.

Wow! interesting read.
You haven’t seen the new Carnival multi purpose vehicle, clearly the coolest thing ever!
Its not about being seen or driving a stolen vehicle. The majority of stolen cars are stripped down and sold for parts. A vehicle is worth 3 times more in parts than it is complete. That's why car thieves target popular vehicles because they can steal, strip the car, and sell the parts in less than a day.

Look at all the dollar bills, a real gangster!
Wonder if the 2016 Accent has an immobilizer? Even if not, it still uses a regular chip key (no push button crap) so I doubt it could be stolen very easily.
I doubt it does, unless you have the top trim level then maybe. Go to your local Lowe’s/Home Depot and their key cutting machine will tell you instantly if it has an chip transponder key. I guess it’s possible they use transponder keys on all of them, even though the vehicle doesn’t have the immobilizer equipment?

Ha. My Accent is so basic it doesn't even have cruise control or come with floor mats.
You can literally hear the cars rusting away
If it is worth 3 times more in parts, couldn’t you just legally purchase the used cars, take them apart, and profit? Seems the stealing creates unnecessary risk at that kind of margin.
They do, but the immobiliser is turned off when it sees the wireless signal from the key.
have you seen used car prices lately? buy one, steal one, fix the one you bought...
