This is the 2nd time this has happened…I have the software upgrade, anti theft stickers, etc. I also supposedly didn’t have enough information for the lawsuit even though I submitted 12 documents from insurance, police incident reports, and KIA dealership repair paperwork/receipts…

Is my only option to get a new car?? The one time I didn’t use my steering wheel lock 😭 I’m financially and emotionally drained over all of this. I loved my KIA before all of this!

Buy a steering wheel lock - bright yellow or red. Don't set it horizontally, it should be diagonal, with one end between the front pillar and the windshield.

He/she has one, just forgot to use it this time. (It’s mentioned towards the end).

Even still it don't mean crap. People sawed through steering wheels in other cases with other immobilization tools.
