I'm assuming most of the cars that may have stolen were the Kia and Hyundais that were being stolen during an online trend. Homicides were down to 57, but arson was up by 87%.

I feel real bad for Hyundai/ Kia drivers, but that's why you don't buy one of those. At least higher end cars like dodge's thieves have to hack/ use a device. With a Hyundai anybody could do it, it's pathetic. Idk why people still buy from them. I get it's a cheap car, but if your car gets stolen/ damaged you're back to square one. Even after the problem is fixed in newer cars, you'd be a fool to support that company.

the immobilizers were secretly removed- they had them before 2012. This wasn't common knowledge, because surely nobody would skimp out on a $10 immobilizer right?

As in in comparison - the Demons, Hellcats and scats, those are also commonly stolen. Definitely higher end and cooler than anything Hyundai has ever made.
