Cities Sue Car Makers Over Vehicle Theft Vulnerability.
Several liberal cities, including Baltimore, St. Louis, and Seattle, are suing Hyundai and Kia for allegedly making vehicles that are too easy to steal. The cities claim that the car manufacturers failed to equip their vehicles with industry-standard vehicle immobilization technology, leaving residents vulnerable to crime and burdening police resources. However, critics argue that the cities' soft-on-crime policies and broken homes are more likely to blame for the record-breaking car thefts and high crime rates.
