Kia Challenge

Kia Challengeis a supposedinternet challengerevolving around a series of Tik Tokvideos showing car thieves stealing Kia automobiles by reportedly starting them with a USB cord. While such thefts have been reported to have been occurring in the midwestern United States in the spring and summer of 2022, there is little proof that they are being done as part of a "Tik Tok challenge" despite the name. The "challenge" became widely known on social media after a woman who had her Kia broken into alleged the perpetrators were attempting to steal her car using that method, ostensibly as part of the "challenge." Later on, the theft trend also spread to Hyundai vehicles, particularly the Elantra.
