Doesn't really apply to Canadian spec cars since the Feds mandated immobilizer here. But I won't be surprised if some dumb kids still break a window to try it out.

That is hilarious. Its a car share program for the hood.

Huh, that's interesting, the article I read the other day says it's the non-pushbutton cars that are vulnerable. The usb plug is used to turn the ignition switch after you break off the keyhole or something. That makes a lot more sense to me, and if it's true, shame on Kiyundai for not using chip keys.
