In 2007, Canada started requiring all vehicles to have a cheap, effective anti-theft device. The U.S. didn’t. Now, it is paying the price with a surge in Kia and Hyundai thefts.

    They probably wanted to make it an add-on charge that they could add 1000% markup on

      Well they still could, but that would invite attention and regulation.

      Maybe they don’t mind them stolen so their customers take the insurance payout and buy a new one.
