Kia and Hyundai Owners, please contact your dealerships and request an update called, Kill Switch." This should be free of charge and will help protect these young punks from taking your property. Additionally, inquire about a sticker, "KillSwitch Secured" to place on your car.

Carjacking is a serious federal crime. ATF works hard w/local, state & federal partners in the @PhillyPolice-led Carjacking Task Force to seek justice & prevent crimes. Federal carjacking penalties are severe, putting perpetrators, even 1st-time offenders, in jail for years.
Here are some tips to help ensure that you don’t become the victim of a carjacking. @PhillyPolice @PPDMMcCarrick @PPDAnthonyLuca
