Carjackers foiled by stick shift

In Tampa Bay two attempted carjackers were stopped in their tracks when the vehicle they were trying to steal had a manual transmission. A couple was dropping off a work truck at their place of employment when two of America's dumbest criminals came on either side of the vehicle with guns and ordered them out and wanted cash and their cell phones. As the criminals entered the vehicle they were able to start it and that's as far as they got since neither of them could drive a stick shift. The men fled the vehicle on foot. Police reported the men only got the cell phone and no money.

Good thing for the victims that these guys were idiots and nobody was hurt. Hopefully the thieves learned a lesson and won't attempt anything like this again. The men haven't been caught yet, but it's probably just a matter of time before their stupidity lands them in jail.
