A lot don’t have immobilizers (the thing that locks the steering wheel) and you don’t need even need to hot wire, just rip out the guard under the steering wheel and put a USB plug in and turn (the plug fits the hole). It’s pretty bad, and it became more known after TikTok started sharing how easy it was to do.

Immobilisers are electronic chips in the key and ignition that pairs when brought together to allow you to start the car. A steering lock, locks the steering wheel.
