I think it will take a multi-pronged approach that includes exactly this. Individuals must be held responsible for their actions. Car security also needs to be beefed up though. It's clearly not good enough.
- philwelch 3y agoKorean car brands like Hyundai and Kia are commonly criticized for being too easy to steal. Yet somehow the rate of car theft in South Korea, where these companies have a much higher market share, is a fraction of that in the United States.
- mywittyname 3y agoBecause the SK versions of KIA/Hyundais have anti-theft measures. It's only USDM cars where they cut corners to remove the immobilizers.
- philwelch 3y agoIs that true, or is it not a problem in South Korea because they have less crime?
- jonathanlydall 3y agoMy understanding of the situation is that their cars for the US market lacked immobilisers or something, while in the rest of the world this was not the case.
