Well, this is another good reason to learn how to drive a manual transmission car. Apparently a couple of teenagers in Atlanta, mugged a guy for his wallet and keys, then tried to drive off with his car. The incident happened right out front of the store where the victim works, and the teens had so much trouble with the car that he was able to run inside tell his coworkers what happened and call the police and when he came back out someone was still in the car trying to get it moving. They eventually gave up and ran away on foot. They were later arrested.

Stick shift gets the best of would-be robbers

Maybe my insurance company will give me a break on my insurance since it is safer from theft since it is manual… yeah, I doubt it too. 😉
