Chicago has become the latest city victimized by the latest TikTok challenge, which shows how you can start Kia and Hyundai cars using only a
USB cable.
The Windy City has seen thefts of the two car brands rise by a shocking 767 percent since the beginning of July compared to the same period in 2021,
according to Chicago police.
Although the original Kia challenge video has been removed, copycats have emerged to the point that TikTok has asked users to report any copies that
have been made.
The challenge, which users post to the social video site under #KiaBoyz, shows impressionable viewers that using the tip of a phone charger or USB
cable can start a Hyundai or a Kia.
'These automobile thefts are a crime of opportunity and can affect just about any member of the community,' Chicago PD said in a statement.
Chicago isn't alone in facing this troubling trend, as cities all across America appear to be dealing with the danger.
In Portland, Oregon, thefts of Hyundais are up 153 percent while Kias are up 269 percent, according to city police.
In Columbus, Ohio, the two brands have made up 38 percent of all cars stolen
in 2022, the New York Post reported.
Out in Los Angeles, Kias and Hyundais are 20 percent of all car thefts, up from 13 percent at this point last year, KTLA says.
Police in Charlotte, North Carolina, reported that car thefts were 30 percent higher than was typically the case at this time of year, with the
majority of vehicles being Kias and Hyundais.
