If you own a car like this Kia Sportage, Green Bay Police say you’re still at high risk of people trying to steal it. We’re talking with one woman whose Kia was just broken into — again.

Last April , we spoke to Sandy Blasky after her window was smashed.

Late Tuesday night, it happened again at her apartment complex.

“I just couldn’t even believe it,” Blasky said. “It was like, ‘I can’t believe it that they would do the same exact thing twice.'”

In both cases, the perpetrator damaged the ignition system of her Kia Forte but failed to steal the car.
