Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower and blame Kia for this, blame the NHTSA for making it legal to skimp out on immobilizers in the first place. Regulations matter!

Since Kia/Hyundai is the only automotive group to have this problem, I'm going to go ahead continuing to blame them.

I agree and still it's also the lack of regulation that enabled it to happen, and 2nd order effects of it is the increase in carjackings.

It's a pretty good argument for the regulation, since everyone else is already doing it just make it the standard.

Of course you are. The alternative is to blame the governments (of places like Chicago or Milwaukee), or the people doing the theft.
