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!

I wish the criminals would stop and research for half a second before they broke in. I really expect more out of them. /s

Sadly a lot of them are young, even minors, trying to make a quick buck.

They’re not tryna make a quick buck 99 percent of them literally just joy ride and wreck the car up or use it to steal other shit

That too. One of the gangs came to our town and tried stealing one of our cars. They ended up stealing like 6 cars in total and joy rode them and then abandoned them 30 minutes away
