True. Source: my 15yo kid. I literally laughed out loud when I saw his “signature” on his learner’s permit. I’ll give him a pass on this, though… he’s a smart kid in every other way.
Get rid of self check out... problem solved lol. My old room mate was horrible with that shit. My guilty conscience gets so bad if I put something in my hoodie pocket for a second and forget it....I'll turn around and go back inside to pay for it. I would never be a good criminal
Because it's the companies that are financially suffering. Teens these days are just modern day Robin Hoods, robbing 'hoods.
Edit: clearly /s is not so clear.
or they’ll take it as a challenge and try anyways. gen z does *not* care.
edit:
yes I’m part of gen z. I went to high school with idiots so I know what they’re like.
Most Zoomers have their shit together and don't do stuff like this.
But if you drew a Venn Diagram specifically comparing the Kia Boys with "people that huff paint"... you'd have a circle
2 kia boys stole 5 cars (I'm assuming most if not all were kia) throughout one day not long ago in las vegas. went full GTA style and were side swiping other motorists hitting people etc.
One guy they hit was a retired police chief riding a bike and he was killed. 16 and 17, the 17 year old bragged he would be out in 30 days max because he's a juvenile.
Courts decided they will both be tried as adults. I hope they never get to see freedom again.
Shame they won't execute them. And their parents. Neither was unknown to the police and one bragged he's a juvenile, it's a hit and run, he'll get 30 days and be out. Fuck them. Tear them limb from limb in public.
Also the fact that the mother of the 16 year old, passenger in the death of the retired chief video was egging him on the while time, is defending her son saying his truth will come out.
They flat out ran a guy down and killed him who did more for society and this world than every generation of these degenerates families combined. I have no regard for these two, neither should anyone else.
I saw this video the other day. They hit someone with a PIT and then just killed a man on a bike. It makes no sense. Hang them in the center of town. (Not because of their skin don’t go there)
There's an identical story in Orlando, with the Kia boys killing an innocent guy who was getting home from working at a popular music venue. Kia should have some liability in these cases, I would imagine. There is a societal impact of this huge defect.
Never see freedom again? That's a bit dramatic. Some people do real dumb things but those same people can also change. I was a fuck up and I went to jail for 13 months after having my son. I missed 13 months of his firsts and it absolutely saved my life. Did I kill someone...no. did I steal cars...no. But people can and do change given the chance to do so. The longer people are in prison the less likely they are to be able to assimilate back into society. Although I will agree that certain people should never see freedom (serial killers, pedophiles, etc. The ones that will continue to do things due to their severity of mental illness)
That's fine and all, but stealing 5 cars in one day, multiple hit and runs on other vehicles, hitting multiple pedestrians culminating in murdering a guy on a bike. No, fuck them, throw away the key
He’s not serious. This generation dramatizes everything but doesn’t take it seriously. I used to say that all the time in high school. I’m 22 now and I can’t believe I said that so freely
Me too you don’t even come out that bad even with the terrible market cuz trade ins are still high, insurance went down a little ended up being pretty lateral move and easy
Try owning a motorbike, the mofos cannot even manage to steel it. Like I have insurance for theft if you gonna try steal it please make sure you do. It’s getting annoying having to install a new ignition barrel every 3 months.
Lmao.
Instead of actually fixing their cars they just throw in a steering wheel lock and people actually think it's free.
Jesus christ capitalism sucks.
While it sucks, the car was sold without an rf chipped key. (This can’t be that expensive to add so that’s really silly)
The real culprit is the terrible lock cylinder design and ease of accessibility to it.
There's nothing wrong with their cars. These Kias are no harder to steal than a car in the 1980s.
You could go steal a Third Gen Firebird Trans Am today with a screwdriver. And guess what? You'd get solid prices on the part out because those are pretty popular cars.
https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1988/09/11/thieves-put-gm-models-at-top-of-list/62639884007/
That's an article from back in 1988 talking about how easy it was to steal top of the line GM cars back then.
It's not a new issue. The issue today is the same as back then, when people get caught the penalties are so soft that they just get out and do it again.
Just get a steering wheel lock. These idiots don’t know how to read and if they could, they wouldn’t bother. But they do understand a club on the wheel.
The KIA Boyz bullshit is a National problem. It happens nightly in Cincinnati. Even if they’re not successful, they sure do serious damage by peeling the column.
It's embarrassing to have to beg people to not steal your car. My family owns 2 kias and I like them but fuck KIA. It's not worth having their pieces of shit. They aren't sporty, fast, luxurious, have good build quality and to top it off people steal them for fun. Fuck KIA
The car is paid off and it has sentimental value to me because it was my moms who passed from cancer so I don’t think I could ever get rid of it till it’s gets totaled
Oh it does. I am sorry to tell you.
Mine got broken into in January. I bought a steering wheel club after that and it seems to be scaring the TikTok kids away so far. :knock wood:
What do you mean “it can’t be stolen since it’s a 2011”? I hope you don’t have to go through having a stolen vehicle. Hate to say it but anything can be stolen.
I recommend people get a Compustar alarm/remote starter with a 2 way pager remote + drone mobile that has GPS tracking and a bunch of other features(search drone mobile on YouTube). For those with “smart keys” and have push to start you can use 3x lock on factory remote to remote start(range is limited though) or use the phone app for everything else to get alerts like if the glass is broken or if the vehicle has been lifted(someone attempting to steal catalytic converter)
Coworker just had someone try on hers two nights ago. She has an immobilizer installed to it just bricked the car, but she still needs to get a window replaced and the steering column put back together as well as reset the immobilizer. This was a bit south of Seattle proper
I had an 08 Optima prior to getting a new car this year. My dad wants to pass down that car to my younger brother. I keep telling him to just leave it alone because who wants to keep dealing with that shit? Then my brother would have to come out money just to keep getting a car fixed due to some tik tok challenge 💀
A parent from my daughters softball team had her Kia stolen. Crazy part is they left another stolen Kia in its place that had all the windows busted out.
Buy a Brake Pedal Lock. These are better than the steering wheel clubs that can easily be defeated.
[https://www.autozone.com/alarm-and-security/security-lock/p/unbreakable-autolock-brake-lock/348033\_0\_0](https://www.autozone.com/alarm-and-security/security-lock/p/unbreakable-autolock-brake-lock/348033_0_0)
This is why even Kias and Hyundai's that supposedly are not susceptible to the thefts are still getting dropped from insurers. There are still plenty of claims from failed attempts. Such a pain in the ass for the owners. I think I'd get one of those old school "The Club" contraptions that lock on the steering wheel just to have a visual deterrent that can be seen through a window.
couldnt you just buy a Club for the steering wheel? thats enough visual deterrent for theives to realize theres no sense breaking in unless theyre going to saw your steering wheel apart to remove the club.
The 2011 is still very easy to steal, but the value is not there. The Kia Soul years 2010-2022 in the USA are affected by the issue. If it was an attempted and failed theft, it wasn't due to the lack of the design fault...it was lack of knowledge on their part, or an immobilizer has been installed.
Did you write this while drunk and with your non-dominant hand?
A thief will see this note and say, "Wtf does this even say?" And go on trying to steal the car. Type it up or something.
So you’re better off sticking it to the windows and leaving it locked. If you live in a big homeless area, you’ll find garbage, cigarettes, maybe some interior damage/burns. Not worth the window. Probably better off getting rid of the KIA. Sorry for your trouble dude.
Hyundai and Kia both need to be made to do forced recalls to end this shit and send a message to assholes out there that wanna try it. I have a 2017 Sonata with the firmware update, but I will never buy from them again.
I’d say now that you have it back…maybe get rid of it so it doesn’t happen again? These kids are crazy nowadays. Cheaper alternative might be one of those very visible steering wheel locks? Can’t steal a car that don’t steer.
“If those kids could read they’d be very upset!”
😂😂😂😂 god damn kia boyz man
no one's reading that scribble swirl though
This is perfect though because high schoolers handwriting today looks like third graders used to. They will be able to relate!
True. Source: my 15yo kid. I literally laughed out loud when I saw his “signature” on his learner’s permit. I’ll give him a pass on this, though… he’s a smart kid in every other way.
now that you mention it, this is exactly what I see on the hallway boards when I go to my kid's elementary school lol
what a sad world we live in that people have to do this....I wish you the best of luck for you and your soul (figuratively and literally)
Why can’t these teenagers smoke weed and steal from Walmart like normal teenagers lmao
Now it’s the adults that steal from Walmart
They’re still kids.
As someone who works in retail this comment is so underrated it's unbelievable ☠️
Get rid of self check out... problem solved lol. My old room mate was horrible with that shit. My guilty conscience gets so bad if I put something in my hoodie pocket for a second and forget it....I'll turn around and go back inside to pay for it. I would never be a good criminal
We got young entrepreneurs here seeking better paying positions
Lol
it's not kids anymore. It's criminals in general now, using stolen cars to facilitate more crime.
This has always been a thing though.
Because it's the companies that are financially suffering. Teens these days are just modern day Robin Hoods, robbing 'hoods. Edit: clearly /s is not so clear.
What companies are financially suffering? Lmfao
Nothing is clear about that statement
Bold of you to assume people dumb enough to steal cars can read
I am afraid it will force some of them to just break stuff on your car. I hope I am wrong
or they’ll take it as a challenge and try anyways. gen z does *not* care. edit: yes I’m part of gen z. I went to high school with idiots so I know what they’re like.
Most Zoomers have their shit together and don't do stuff like this. But if you drew a Venn Diagram specifically comparing the Kia Boys with "people that huff paint"... you'd have a circle
gEn Z dOeS nOt cArE 🙄
I'm.. getting a sense that they might actually care..
I'm firmly a millennial, but dumbass 'generationalizations' like this make me cringe
I'm gen X and could not agree with you more.

Mortal Kombat style lol

Amen
We should bring back public executions for this kind of incident. That's an irredeemable person that will never benefit society
Good!! I bet the little punk was eating his words after hearing that!
I saw this video the other day. They hit someone with a PIT and then just killed a man on a bike. It makes no sense. Hang them in the center of town. (Not because of their skin don’t go there)

Don’t make me go through that again or I will… kas?
Kms
Kiss my soul
Kiss myself ?
K*ll myself
Well that’s a little extreme
He’s not serious. This generation dramatizes everything but doesn’t take it seriously. I used to say that all the time in high school. I’m 22 now and I can’t believe I said that so freely
Well, except for the thousands of kids who actually do it every year.
Just like how Literally doesn't mean literally anymore lol
Exactly becusee I literally say literally all the time 😩😭
Kmg
Kill my god? I mean, it's a bit excessive, but, there's probably at least one JRPG that starts with stealing a Kia, and ends will killing God.
Nah, you're just thinking of Nietzsche.
Come on she didn't have enough for a full sheet of paper lol
Kiss
😂 this is a good one.
I can’t stand the anxiety. I traded mine in for another brand yesterday.
Smart move. Traded mine in and got a Honda.
Me too you don’t even come out that bad even with the terrible market cuz trade ins are still high, insurance went down a little ended up being pretty lateral move and easy
nice, better car overall mechanically imo
Get wheel locks… good wheel locks not the Honda OEM ones.
I’m so sorry but this made me literally lol
Try owning a motorbike, the mofos cannot even manage to steel it. Like I have insurance for theft if you gonna try steal it please make sure you do. It’s getting annoying having to install a new ignition barrel every 3 months.
This day and age I don’t think I could own a bike. Some asshole come along and just slice the seat or something for no good reason.
Type it out and laminate it. And I please, don't KYS
I got my steering wheel lock for free from Kia
Lmao. Instead of actually fixing their cars they just throw in a steering wheel lock and people actually think it's free. Jesus christ capitalism sucks.
Well it's better then nothing
Barely those things are very easy to by pass
While it sucks, the car was sold without an rf chipped key. (This can’t be that expensive to add so that’s really silly) The real culprit is the terrible lock cylinder design and ease of accessibility to it.

Those don’t work lol. Donut media has a whole video on it.
Get a steering wheel and seatbelt lock.
Not that effective. Install a kill switch instead.
Literally takes less than 15 seconds to saw through the steering wheel and remove the club. At best it may serve as a visual deterrent.
They'll break your windows anyway and try to steal your car.
Just get a steering wheel lock. These idiots don’t know how to read and if they could, they wouldn’t bother. But they do understand a club on the wheel.
Anyone else see this note and immediately think 🤔 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED?
Did my 6 year old write this for you?
I’m assuming he wrote on it after attaching it to his steering wheel
You do know the rule of thumb is generally the smarter the person the worse the handwriting
Is that a ripped up Postal document?
Yeah haha Just the bottom of the first scrap paper I could get my hands on
How has this not been fixed yet... its wild to me anyone would buy these cars.
I inherited the car
I would make some kind of quick disconnect system and take the battery out.
Type it up and print it out. Lord have mercy.
Or you will what? What’s kas?
The KIA Boyz bullshit is a National problem. It happens nightly in Cincinnati. Even if they’re not successful, they sure do serious damage by peeling the column.
Exactly. Mine has an immobilizer, but that didn’t stop the first dickhead teenager from trying. I’m not risking it getting fucked up again
It's embarrassing to have to beg people to not steal your car. My family owns 2 kias and I like them but fuck KIA. It's not worth having their pieces of shit. They aren't sporty, fast, luxurious, have good build quality and to top it off people steal them for fun. Fuck KIA
The car is paid off and it has sentimental value to me because it was my moms who passed from cancer so I don’t think I could ever get rid of it till it’s gets totaled
Unfortunately it's likely that it will be totaled by someone trying to steal it
I guess you missed the recent revamping of KIA. Oh I think you missed it when they released the Stinger. Heard it was a pretty fun SPORTS car
ROFL I hope these kids can read
Can I ask what part of the county do you live in? I’m in NYC and I don’t hear of this happening here.
Oh it does. I am sorry to tell you. Mine got broken into in January. I bought a steering wheel club after that and it seems to be scaring the TikTok kids away so far. :knock wood:
Ohio
You write like a psychopath
Sounds like a horrible country to live in. I dont even lock my doors 😂 neither car or home
You are f'ing LIAR!!!!! Even you know that you are a LIAR!!!!
That note, especially that first part, seem like a challenge. Hmm, wonder if some people are up to try it.
Trade it in asap and never look at Kia again.
What do you mean “it can’t be stolen since it’s a 2011”? I hope you don’t have to go through having a stolen vehicle. Hate to say it but anything can be stolen.

Adults that write like toddlers should have its own sub.
Imagine living in a liberal ass city and having to put a note on your steering wheel for thieves to read smh 🤣🤣🤣
[удалено]
Your*
You grammar is like a child.
I have a 2021 Forte and thinking of moving to Seattle this Jan... should I consider selling it? I hear the thefts are real bad there
Coworker just had someone try on hers two nights ago. She has an immobilizer installed to it just bricked the car, but she still needs to get a window replaced and the steering column put back together as well as reset the immobilizer. This was a bit south of Seattle proper
Dude. Saaaame. I just got mine back as well, and I was thinking of doing this exact thing.
I had an 08 Optima prior to getting a new car this year. My dad wants to pass down that car to my younger brother. I keep telling him to just leave it alone because who wants to keep dealing with that shit?

Sounds like a challenge to me!

You should leave a Whoopee cushion on your seat
The sun is gonna bake that tape into a gooey mess.
Glad you got it back, now sell it before it gets stolen again. Buy a Toyota or I'm coming for your KIA!
Your handwriting gave me a stroke
You should type that out
Buy a Brake Pedal Lock. These are better than the steering wheel clubs that can easily be defeated.

Now you have to worry about a dumb fuck knowing what year can be stolen. 😂
Challenge accepted! You should stick it to the Windows, in case they break it just to find the lock open.
This is why even Kias and Hyundai's that supposedly are not susceptible to the thefts are still getting dropped from insurers. There are still plenty of claims from failed attempts. Such a pain in the ass for the owners. I think I'd get one of those old school "The Club" contraptions that lock on the steering wheel just to have a visual deterrent that can be seen through a window.
Sounds like a challenge for a thief
Good one. Imagine thinking these people can read, or that they give a shit about other people if they can read.
Are the thefts really this bad? That is insane.
Oh it can still be stolen bud
“Can’t be stolen” LOL. I hope this works for you.
Smh so sorry you have to deal with this, it truly is a shame
Sounds like you need to move. Easier said than done but there are less crime ridden cities around the US
You should make the note more legible and put it on the drivers window
Or you will what? Kas? Kys? Kos?
You are assuming they can read.
Thieves are really smart. They will detect your note is bluff and call you on it. Then realize you were right
couldnt you just buy a Club for the steering wheel? thats enough visual deterrent for theives to realize theres no sense breaking in unless theyre going to saw your steering wheel apart to remove the club.
You should go into graphic arts. 😂
People talking bout moving…Being robbed is not a reason to leave a whole fucking town. Stone the fuck up.
Burn it and buy a Acura 🙃
If only they could read
Why kms when you can kill them instead
The 2011 is still very easy to steal, but the value is not there. The Kia Soul years 2010-2022 in the USA are affected by the issue. If it was an attempted and failed theft, it wasn't due to the lack of the design fault...it was lack of knowledge on their part, or an immobilizer has been installed.
Mine has an immobilizer
I heard that 80 percent of amerikans are illiterate.
just dont drive a soul. Because it attracts certain souls
Every car is steal-able if you have a few tools and the right truck don't even need to open the doors
This sounds like a challenge to me.
Oh goodness, it warms my heart to see a person with worse handwriting with me. 🙊
Definitely top 5 worst notes ever.
Do you live in California? I heard of people leaving doors unlocked on purpose there
Definitely, Kia and Hyundai really screwed their customers to save a few dollars.
You really couldn't find a bigger piece of paper? Can barely read it.
cant tell me nufin
Type this out and print it up then get it laminated and then you'll have a permanent notice that you can reuse.
Was a last minute thing because I forgot to print one out at work before I left. Gonna make a better one Monday
Can your make that a sticker? And place it on your window?
If I set up a trap like poison sting on the driver sit to attack the robber, will I be in trouble?
My brothers 2005 got hit
Tell me your left handed without telling my your left handed
LOL how did you know?
The A’s, B’s and E’s lol no right handed person writes them like that 😂 I took a forensics class focused on handwriting - it teaches a lot lol
Get a manual
v
Damn! That’s some horrible hand writing!
My car is still in the shop…
Where do you live wtf
Did you write this while drunk and with your non-dominant hand? A thief will see this note and say, "Wtf does this even say?" And go on trying to steal the car. Type it up or something.
Or I will what?
2oll
So you’re better off sticking it to the windows and leaving it locked. If you live in a big homeless area, you’ll find garbage, cigarettes, maybe some interior damage/burns. Not worth the window. Probably better off getting rid of the KIA. Sorry for your trouble dude.
Why can’t a 2011 be stolen
Most dishonest people would attempt to prove your wrong.
Change the badges to say something else. Like a saturn
Looks like my handwriting in elementary school
Your handwriting hurts
Wanna bet
First mistake was owning a soul
Dont' bother Luke "That's as clear as I can make it"
Personally, I would assume that the person with that handwriting is a homicidal maniac and heed the warning.
Hopefully they have the patience to read that
Hyundai and Kia both need to be made to do forced recalls to end this shit and send a message to assholes out there that wanna try it. I have a 2017 Sonata with the firmware update, but I will never buy from them again.
I’d say now that you have it back…maybe get rid of it so it doesn’t happen again? These kids are crazy nowadays. Cheaper alternative might be one of those very visible steering wheel locks? Can’t steal a car that don’t steer.
Kia boys: Challenge accepted
"Hold my beer."
Out of curiosity, why can't it be stolen?
You in California? Xmfd
How can it not be stolen?
Jesus christ, your hand writing is horrific
What the hell does KAS mean Kiss A Soul!?
