Thieves have been targeting the Stellantis’ Toledo Assembly Complex in Ohio, even going so far as to steal two Durango Hellcats from the factory parking lot. Now an assembly line worker had his Challenger Hellcat Redeye stolen! Surveillance cameras show that at 11:05 pm a car pulled up next to the Challenger and a man got out and broke a window to get inside. After plugging into the OBDII port, the thief was able to reprogram the car to accept a new key and drive away in just 30 seconds! As we know, Dodge has been working on a theft deterrent technology for the high-performance Challenger and Charger models. When the car is started up, the owner has to type in a 4-digit code on the infotainment touchscreen, otherwise engine output is limited to just 3-horsepower. We’re unsure if this measure would stop sophisticated hacking thefts like this one, but we’ll find out soon enough. Read the details, below.

Eh, whatever. I'd hope that could be disabled. It always amazes me when people buy these cars and don't garage them, especially if they live in bad areas. Sent from my SM-N981U using Tapatalk
I highly doubt this is unique to challengers or chargers. It's likely that A) these cars are sought after and the media loves talking about them and B) unlike other expensive cars, the Dodge dealers don't have 24/7 security. I went to an audi dealer before it was open and they had a security guard that was there. This was in daylight too. Asked if we could drive around the lot and they said only the used lot. I was in my brand new edge st with my 60 something year old dad... (he was the one that wanted to look). The world (the media) is based on correlation with causation.

Why would someone purchase a Redeye and not have an ignition disconnect installed? Asking for a friend...
and lastly... Why SHOULD you have to do either of these things ? Why do you have to put your name on food you put in the fridge at work ??
Oh, I know.....trust me..... It was a rhetorical question.................and your answer was more polite than mine probably would have been.
A little off topic but make some nice chocolate dessert and load it up with ExLax. You will find your fridge bandit. Been there done that. LOL.
