That Time Someone Stole A Hyundai Tucson Holding Both Parents' Ashes The Night Before A Funeral
A stolen Hyundai Tucson turned an already difficult time into a family's worst nightmare, highlighting a troubling side of a U.S. vehicle theft problem. The number of stolen cars in the United States fell by 17% in 2024 from 2023, and another 23% in 2025, according to car theft statistics. However, 2023 marked the highest year in which a car was stolen, including a 2016 Hyundai Tucson owned by Kimberly Magnusson. The theft, which occurred the night before her funeral, included irreplaceable mementos of her deceased parents, including her father's military service flag, and her parents' actual remains. The Hyundai Tucson's interior had suffered ignition, steering column, and door lock damage. If the U.S. only had the same anti-theft laws that Canada passed years ago, this incident may not have occurred. Despite Hyundai's efforts, Hyundai Elantra and Sonata were ranked No. 1 and No. 3 on the list of most stolen cars of 2025.
