Baltimore sues Hyundai, Kia over spike in car thefts
I live in Baltimore, in a pretty &quot;good&quot; part of town where most of the young professionals and Hopkins hospital staff live. I know 4 different people who&#x27;ve had cars stolen in the past 24 months. In 3 of these cases the perpetrators were teenagers, and in 2 of these cases they brandished guns. Only one of these thefts were Hyundai&#x2F;Kia-related, and the thief punched my buddy in the face during the theft.<p>Many others I know have had cars broken into, homes broken into, tons of packages stolen, property vandalized, etc. Basically any form of property crime you can imagine.<p>The idea that Hyundai or Kia are somehow culpable for these this extreme social dysfunction is absolutely farcical. Vagrants and criminals are kept like livestock by the local government and a class of parasitic NGOs- left to terrorize normal law-abiding citizens who barely have a legal recourse to violence should one of these incidents go sideways.<p>It would take Ra&#x27;s al Ghul to resolve the problems of this city
