But before life in Jail they should be given a dozen lashes with the cane!
There's other TikTok criminal challenges all over the country. Our local schools and Parks & Rec staff (and taxpayers) are dealing with the "Bathroom Challenge" to vandalize & destroy. Where are the parents?
I’ve seen that since I toured schools as a designer. It seems the richer the areas of schools the more damage. Cherry bombs used to blow off toilets from the walls and shot put balls dropped on ceramic tiles around pools. I guess we should design schools like prisons...concrete floors, walls and ceilings.
Glad my 2018 has the push button in the console /w immobilizer. No key exists for mine, except the "Valet" key to open the door.It's called "The KIA challenge", people breaking in to Kia cars and posting it on TikTok.
What is the Kia Challenge? TikTok urges users to report USB hot-wiring trend
The new “Kia challenge,” which emerged on the social media platform in July, has since caused a spike in car thefts and robberies from vehicles.
On Instagram 🤣
You don't have any immobilizer. It still can be stolen, maybe even easier (if you don't store your fob at home in a shielded pouch, it can be "relayed" to the car, to open doors and start it).

But if the "valet" key can open the door, wouldn't it also be able to start the car?
No, 2021 LX basic model on back doesn't have a chip key!
Too bad they didn’t eat more tide pods when that was a thing. Natural selection, or something like that 😁So the tide pod and bathroom damaging is no longer the trend. our world is turning upside down...
It is not really a usb port. When the ignition is popped out there is a little square hole piece of metal protruding that remains there. Just so happens that a USB cable fits on there sort of perfectly and grabs ahold of it enough to start up the car.
I think the media, as usual, is grossly misreporting the facts. If you watch or read several of them, they get the "details" mixed up. The "USB Cable" just happens to be something that many cars have in them already (phone charging/etc) and has a metal end on it. But the headlines read "Kia's Being Stolen with a USB Cable." Like that's all there is to it.
