Thieves are using USB cables and similar items to hot wire cars, turning them on without the ignition key.
Police say there has been a rise in thefts of certain models of Kia and Hyundai cars in Houston, matching a stolen car TikTok trend. Sgt. Tracy Hicks with Houston Police Auto Theft Crimes Task Force said depending on the vehicle, a customer could prevent the problem with a software upgrade or a steering wheel lock.
January saw 35 Hyundai Sonatas and 29 Hyundai Elantras stolen, Hicks said. The number of Kias stolen wasn't available, Hicks said. "They're all 16- to 19-year-olds," Hicks said."They're filming themselves and they're literally using these cars as bumper cars. They are trashing them." "They're literally bouncing off cars all the way, like literally they try to hit every car they can and they all giggle and they get the video... they eventually run over something and they disable the car, they jump out. One guy's filming them and they run off and giggle and laugh about how awesome they are."
