Rising thefts prompt Killeen Police to issue warning about viral 'Kia challenge'

The Killeen Police Department in Texas is warning residents about the viral "Kia Challenge," which has led to an increase in thefts of Kia and Hyundai models across the country. The challenge, shared on social media, demonstrates how to steal these specific car models using basic items. To prevent becoming a victim, the police recommend measures such as using free anti-theft software, parking in secured garages, taking the vehicle's key, locking all windows and doors, parking in well-lit areas, not leaving valuables in the car, applying a physical steering wheel lockbar, and blocking the targeted vehicle with another car.
