      The problem is that the lock does not deserve that name, and the added security from KIA is not much better.

      A car door lock is trivial to bypass by any one of like four methods. What stops the car being stolen is the immobilizer chip. The immobilizer that Kia declined to install in their cars.

      After 3 times she should just buy a Honda instead, those at least come with baseline security features.
