Is this Hyundai/Kia theft disproportionately rampant in other cities as well?
If so then Baltimore may have a reasonable case. If not then it’s a Baltimore problem.
- op00to 3y agoYes. This was literally a 3 second google, and the first damn hit: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2023/05/09/stolen-kia-hyundai-thefts-rising/70199187007/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2023/05/09/stolen-...
- jrochkind1 3y agoThe first line of the OP: > The city of Baltimore has filed a federal lawsuit against car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, joining a number of cities who say the companies created a public nuisance by making cars that can be easily stolen. later on: > Cleveland, St. Louis and Seattle are among the other cities that started suing the the car companies earlier this year. I feel like this whole thread has a lot of odd takes stirred up by people's suppositions of what happens particularly in "Baltimore".
