Wanna go into a big more detail?
Mine and my roommate's Hyundais were stolen. His was stolen by a child. We know this because the high schooler that stole my roommate's car kept parking it randomly around the neighborhood because he obviously couldn't bring it home to his parents and parked the car directly in front of our house (he stole it from a train stop so didn't know). We caught the kid when he came back for it. The kid was 16.
Mine was stolen and then used in 3+ more hijackings involving a gun according to the FBI agent assigned to my case.
Easy to steal them I think.
Only in the US and only extremely cheap versions of models. Other countries have mandatory immobilizer.
Easy to go them too
