If that were the case, carjacking numbers would be up wherever Kias circulate, which is clearly not the case. Criminality is rampant not because there are opportunities to commit crime, but because there are people willing to commit them.

They are in fact up where Kias circulate!

Selection bias. Kias circulate in Europe. No carjacking here.

First: you brought up the stat, not me. Like, literally one comment ago. So: super weird rebuttal.

Second: Kias in Europe and Canada have interlocks. They famously do not in the US. You cannot steal a European Kia with an iPhone charger.
