and Hyundais skyrocketed following the circulation of videos demonstrating how they could be easily stolen using basic tools and a USB cord. The software update implemented by the automakers aimed to address this vulnerability and make it more challenging to exploit.
After Rose’s car was recovered, photos revealed that the plastic cover over the steering column had been torn off, and a USB cord was connected to a port near the ignition. While the exact method used by the thieves to steal the car remains unclear, Taylor’s father, Sergeant Scott Rose of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, expressed dissatisfaction with Kia’s software update.“After all the updates that they just did, it’s still stolen. This was incredible,” he said.
Kia told WWLTV that it will inspect the vehicle to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the incident. Meanwhile, Taylor Rose is left without a car after the thieves who took his Optima
