Hyundai Motor America has provided the University with steering wheel locks to deter Hyundai and Kia vehicle thefts. The Department of Public Safety is able to distribute one free wheel lock to anyone in the University community who owns or drives a Hyundai or Kia. While supplies last, individuals can pick up a steering wheel lock at DPS headquarters, 612 Wilson Blvd., River Campus, by showing a University ID and proof of owning or driving a Hyundai or Kia vehicle, such as a vehicle registration card. In January, DPS alerted the University community to the uptick in incidents involving the attempted theft of these vehicles around campus. DPS continues to give extra attention to the target areas as the investigations continue.
