ATLANTIC CITY, NJ – The Atlantic City Police Department will be distributing free steering wheel locks to Hyundai and Kia owners in an effort to deter the theft of these vehicle brands.
These vehicles continue to be the most popular cars and SUVs for car thieves, particularly younger individuals. The ACPD has 400 steering wheel locks that will be distributed, for free, to residents that own a Hyundai or Kia.
“Simply bring your affected vehicle or a copy of your registration and your driver’s license to the Clayton G. Graham Public Safety Building (2715 Atlantic Avenue) and we will provide you with a free lock,” the department said today.
Steering wheel locks can be picked up Monday – Friday, between the hours of 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Hyundai will reimburse owners for steering wheel locks for those who have already purchased them.
Additionally, Hyundai will soon offer reimbursement options for other anti-theft equipment such as alarm systems. The link to their announcement is here: https://www.hyundainews.com/en-us/releases/3810 and you can find more information at https://www.hyundaiantitheft.com/
