Kia offers free anti-theft upgrades in Lakewood

Kia over the weekend was offering free anti-theft upgrades in Lakewood to help deter a skyrocketing number of thefts not just in this region but across the U.S. This comes after a viral video showed how easy it is to steal certain keys with just a screwdriver or USB cable. It might be a quick fix to a nationwide problem. SUGGESTED: 'Ghostbusters'-themed Kia stolen in Silver Lake found damaged days laterKey owners pulled into Lakewood Center Mall and answered a few questions.

Kia says cars with ignition buttons and fobs were not affected, but some turn key ignition models between 2010 and 2021 did not have an immobilizer, which would have made it harder to start without a key. SUGGESTED: Kia, Hyundai owners could see payout as part of $145 million settlementThe brand, as well as Hyundai, saw thefts of some of their cars rise by 1,000% in just three years.
