Social Media “Challenge” Leads to Spike in Vehicle Incidents  

ATLANTA – The MARTA Police Department (MPD) is offering another opportunity for patrons who own Kia and Hyundai vehicles to receive a steering wheel lock. Through a partnership with car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai, MARTA received 640 steering wheel locks to help deter and prevent thefts after a spike in incidents involving those vehicles. Police nationwide have noticed a spike in thefts of Kia and Hyundai vehicles after a post on social media showed how to start these cars without a key.
