I think, I've heard that the Kia and Hyundai are even easier to steal, not requiring programming. Or maybe the programming is a new thing. My understanding (and this may be slightly older versions) was that there was no security on them at all which was why they were stolen for joy rides so frequently. I think the folks that stole them were called "kia boys" or something like that.
