Dim Crims: Stick shift foils car thieves

Three teens tried to steal a Seattle woman’s car, but couldn’t because none of them knew how to drive a stick shift.  “I got a five speed in there,” Nancy Fredrickson, 70, said. “They couldn't figure out how to get it going!”  Fredrickson said she had just walked around the back of her car to get something from the trunk when she heard someone demanding her keys.
At first she thought it was a joke; then, she saw a gun.
Frederickson dropped her keys and said the teens jumped into the car.
But none of them knew how to drive it. [Source]
