You can steal many Kia and Hyundai cars on the road with a USB cable[0] that doesn't even involve electronics. It just so happens the physical shape of the USB plug fits well over the ignition tumbler. As the article points out many cars will have a USB A cable in them already and at that point all you need is a rock to break a window (or just open an unlocked door). Many jurisdictions have laws against carrying theft or burglary tools[1] and needless to say walking around with a USB cable is innocuous enough to be hard to apply these existing laws to. In many instances these are only used to apply an additional charge to suspects that have already been caught for theft or burglary.
