Manual transmission stymies Mass. car thieves
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) -- A trio of would-be Massachusetts car thieves had to hit the brakes on their plan because none of them knew how to drive a stick.
Police in Springfield say the men pulled a knife on a food delivery driver Tuesday night and demanded the grub and his keys. But then they noticed the car had a manual transmission.
Nobody said you had to be smart to be a criminal.Looks like Mass. needs to work on some common sense knife control laws.I guess some good carjacking protection is having a clutch.You could still get dead but at least they won't get your car.
