Thieves targeting Kia and Hyundai vehicles less often in Chicago
CHICAGO – Chicago's car theft crisis appears to be on the decline, after reaching a two-decades high of 31,139 vehicles stolen or attempted stolen in 2023. The social media-fueled surge Chicago Police Department data, obtained and analyzed by CBS 2, show October 2022 as the month with the most thefts. Thieves targeted 3,401 vehicles during those 31 days. Kia and Hyundai vehicles made up the majority of cars stolen that month.
Sheriff Dart added carmakers have been more helpful recently providing key information to law enforcement when a car is stolen, ahead of a new law passed last year in Illinois. 'The new law went on the book January 1, which required them to be tracking and tracking in a certain way and responding in a certain way,' Dart said.
