LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kias and Hyundais have been the targets of car thieves since last year when a viral TikTok showed people how to steal them by using a USB cable.
In a public service announcement on Wednesday, Louisville Metro Police confirmed it's still a problem.
Authorities said nearly 2,000 Kia or Hyundai cars have been reported stolen this year alone in Louisville.
That's about 10 cars a day.
They say the most impacted cars are those models made between 2011 and 2022.
