Unsure of Dodge Chargers but I know they are a very popular car in the USA. Only seen a few videos of the cars but are these type of cars like incredibly easy to steal and such as a whole?

I can totally see why they are a popular car though. Apologies if the question sounds a bit silly. Just asking out of genuine curiousity.

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

57 | 18 hours ago

Im not too knowledgeable on them as they arent sold in my country but Ive heard of people stealing them by breaking through the window and plugging a programming key into the OBDII port so its definitely possible that they’re easier to break into but they’re also just a lot more desireable to people who want to steal a vehicle and go for a hoon in it.

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

2 | 17 hours ago

I didnt even know it was such a big thing until I looked it up then.

Where I live electronic engine immobilisers have been a legal requirement on cars since 2001 so this has never been a problem.

according to the data they’re being stolen at almost double the rate of Chargers but aren’t as big of a threat to the general public like someone joyriding around in a Charger would be.

Ihate_reddit_app

8 | 17 hours ago

Immobilizers weren’t mandatory, but Kia and Hyundai were the only brands that actually didn’t use them. They cheaped out like they always do. Just make cars that look nice and ignore everything else.

At the beginning of this decade, the US had the “Kia Boyz” that would steal all of these cars that had key start. The Midwest was hit pretty good with it. If you had one of these cars and left it on the street in Minneapolis during that time, it was basically guaranteed to get stolen. It’s still happening, but not as much. It seems to always be 13-15 year old kids doing it too.

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

Damn, you know shits serious when a whole social media trend is born out of it.

I do know of the huge difference in quality between the US and South Korean factories so it checks out. Here in Australia, Kia/Hyundai have come a long way since the 90s and 2000s shitboxes and make some pretty damn good, reliable cars with little issues.

Right, if you steal a hyundai/kia you’re likely to burn up the engine unless you add oil before your joyride.

Yes, essentially the #1 target and for a lot of reasons. High value for drivetrain parts resale on the black market since they are so often used for engine swaps and custom car builds. Vulnerable security architecture too, can essentially break window, plug into OBDII port and have a cloned key fob within 2 minutes. Also very prone to relay attacks where owners leaving the keys near windows or the front door of their house can have the signal mimiced. Not to mention how visible they are in activities like street takeovers/racing/cheap getaway cars so they have cultural clout for less organized criminals to ride off of

It’s pretty objectively a great muscle car. If you want raw horsepower in an ICE car without spending $150k+, the Dodge Charger is a great option.

Los Angeles California. Literally went there on a road trip and spent less than 2 days there and saw hundreds of homeless people including tent cities. Ad I ate near the pier near Muscle Beach there were homeless people talking to themselves and shouting at the air. Everyone looked uncomfortable yet its noy reported in the crime statistics (thats why crime statistics dont tell the entire stlry). It’s a shithole. None of that exists where I live. Have never seen a homeless person where I live or someone having a mental breakdown in public in 15 years. Nobody living in tents. I don’t need to worry about leaving Amazon packages outside for days at a time or locking my car at night.
