You Don't Need a Key to Start Some Cars

This is a security fail of the highest order. Kia, Hyundai car thefts spur warning from Cook County Sheriff

In Chicago, there has been a 767% increase in the thefts of Kias and/or Hundai automobiles.

The increased thefts are presumably connected to videos shared on social media that show how to start these cars without a key, the statement said. Unoccupied vehicles that require a physical key and not a start button are being targeted.

Owners of Kias and Hyundais should consider taking steps to put themselves at less risk for theft, such as installing kill switches that make the vehicle inoperable without a key, car alarms with motion detection, steering wheel locking devices or vehicle tracking systems, according to the statement.

Someday companies will take security seriously. But this is not that day.

They still sell The Club. 80 or 100 bucks to avoid the problems with having your car stolen... Sounds like a deal.
