T-Tok Car Stealing Challenge, where a stolen car can go around the United States

With only a USB cable, steal a Kia, Hyundai car, believe it or not?

No joke, recently on foreign T-Tok, there was a #起亚挑战赛 of explosive events.

A group of fifteen and sixteen-year-old children, with a USB cable in their hands, wandered the streets and stole Kia and Hyundai cars when they saw them.

After stealing it, he posted the live video on Douyin, begging the old irons to dot their little red hearts to show their complete success in the Kia Challenge.

THE GANG CALLS THEMSELVES "KIA BOYS," KIA BOYS, OR MODERN BOYS.

of them are 14-17 years old, and they are heavy T-Tok users.

In order to gain attention and show rebellion, he practiced the divine skill of "only relying on a data cable to enter and exit any parking lot".

Although, USB cable theft sounds unreliable.

But according to local police statistics, Chicago alone recorded a record of 642 stolen cars in a single month in July.

Year-on-year, an increase of 767%, basically all stolen with USB cables.

But that's not all, it's the entire United States that is happening.

Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, and other major regions, car theft cases have soared during this period, news is frequent, and police officers are almost bald.

As for how many cars were stolen in total, I don't dare to count, except that GTA doesn't lie to me.

Seeing this, there must have been a lot of questions in the hearts of the poor friends, such as -

how to steal a car with a USB data cable? Isn't that?

Why specifically steal Kia and Hyundai? Who did the owners provoke again?

Don't worry, let's talk one by one.

What needs to be explained is that those stealing tutorial videos have been deleted by the whole network.

If you want to know the specific operation and step details, unless you go deep into the simple local customs of the United States and find a few guys to personally demonstrate to you, you will basically not find it.

However, according to the Chicago sheriff, it can also be speculated that this is not very technical:

First, thieves often choose those "physical key models" and break through the windows.

Then remove the key cover under the rudder, and then poke the head of the USB cable into the keyhole.

Finally, like a normal ignition, just rotate the USB cable

Of course, this is only a general process, the specific operation method does not know whether it will work or not, and the punishment is affirmative.

To put it bluntly, the whole thing has little to do with the USB cable, and it is like changing pliers.

All are to rotate the keyhole and achieve the purpose of ignition.

This is not even more technical work, simpler than stealing a car in a gangster movie and dragging two wires to make a fire.

precisely because it is not difficult to get started, so it is easy for these little fart children at the top to get their hands on.

And the most annoying thing is that they steal cars for nothing else, just to show off.

Even the threshold for a driver's license at the age of 16 has not been reached, and driving on the street is a collision, hit-and-run.

Vehicle damage, almost all stolen vehicles.

Although in the eyes of a child, it is cool to drive a car with USB, but the owner can't laugh at all.

For example, the following lady, she was in the doorway monitoring, witnessed the whole process of her car being stolen.

At 3 a.m., 4 people, three or two, drove the car away and slipped away.

She also cried on her Twitter: "I hope these people will be brought to justice, because when they are at large, I have to work hard to pay the bills of the car."

However, the fact is that the person who stole the car cannot be found, and eighty percent of the car will not return.

Fortunately, the police are not vegetarians, and some car owners can find out immediately when they are stolen, so they subdued some of the thieves who followed the trend and stole cars.

Looking at the person who stole the car in front of him, he was just a half-old child, and his heart was a little mixed.

It can only be said that the Kia boy looks very beautiful with a USB cable, and he is really embarrassed after being arrested.

Well, it is estimated that Kia and Hyundai owners will be in a hurry to stomp their feet when they see this.

If I can get it so easily, will my car be stolen too?

Don't panic, according to news reports, the stolen Kia and Hyundai vehicles are mostly old models produced in 2015-2021.

And these cars use a physical keyhole, which has long been used keyless start without worry.

boy shocked the whole United States, Kia and Hyundai also immediately contacted "USA Today" to issue a statement, saying: At

new model has added an engine anti-theft device, and the method of stealing USB cable is no longer applicable.

Moreover, all of Kia's past vehicles have actually "met or exceeded" U.S. vehicle safety standards.

The implication is that the old models of other brands may also have this kind of anti-theft loophole, and everyone is to blame for the lack of rigorous security standards...

The owners were panicked, and the police had to give a few safety tips first.

For example, add steering wheel locks, install burglar alarm devices, vehicle trackers, etc.

Another is that even if you park your car in your yard, remember to lock it well.

Now that the turmoil has temporarily receded, the police's news blocking on social media has played a role.

The legend of the Kia boy will eventually come to an end.

But the teenage incident caused by T-Tok is not the first and probably will not be the last.

Remember last year, there was a news of the T-Tok #停电挑战, which triggered the death of two girls.

Silly enough, the so-called blackout challenge is to

strangle yourself with a belt and rope, and then experience a suffocation coma after a lack of oxygen.

If you make a video of the whole process and upload T-Tok, you can attract a lot of followers. This makes bear children whose values are not fully developed can't wait to try.

There are even more XX challenges, not to mention, in short, not too smart.

The only thing that feels a pity now is those Kia and Hyundai owners who have been pitted.

Because some of them are still elderly people who can't even use T-Tok.

It is hard to imagine that such a gap in the times can now be easily opened by a USB cable.

Are they behind the times, or are this era in madness?

I believe everyone has already counted in their hearts.
