KIA offers free security upgrade clinic at Mall of America this weekend

Car manufacturers are addressing the recent surge in car thefts, particularly of Kias and Hyundais, by offering free anti-theft software upgrades to car owners. Minneapolis has seen a rise in stolen vehicles, with teens often involved in joyrides that can lead to more serious crimes. The Minneapolis Police Chief expressed frustration over the trend and emphasized the need for consequences to deter future thefts. Kia's initiative aims to make their cars more secure and discourage criminal activity through software upgrades and window decal updates. The free event for software updates is scheduled for this weekend in the Twin Cities, providing a proactive solution to combat car thefts.
