    My gf’s kia just got stolen while she was at work. Apparently stealing kias (they’re easy to hotwire) then abandoning them is part of a new tiktok trend

    “Innumerable videos posted to TikTok show the Kia Boys participating in wild stunts around Milwaukee: Teens packed into cars ripping through neighborhoods and screeching their tires. Or teens on top of cars, laying on their hoods or standing up through sunroofs, driving by at top speed.

    Inevitably, those stunts have led to crashes and even deaths. Now local police think the trend has made its way to Los Angeles, too.

    Chief Michel Moore of the Los Angeles Police Department told police commissioners on Tuesday that thefts of Kia and Hyundai vehicles in the city have made up a significant chunk of the increase in stolen cars over the last two years.”
