An attempted stickup was confounded by a car’s stick shift, when would-be carjackers failed to understand the mechanics behind a manual transmission.
Randolph Bean tells WOFL FOX 35
that two men attempted to steal his 2002 yellow Corvette at gunpoint
outside an Orlando hospital, but they ended up running away after they
couldn’t figure out how to drive his car.
"They apparently couldn't start
it,” Bean 51, is quoted as saying in a police report. “I had to tell him
four different times to push in the clutch, because it's a standard
transmission."
After several failed attempts, the thieves eventually fled the scene.

Why was Bean hanging around helping after they were in the car? I would have said, "screw this, I got insurance, I'm outta here!"
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they held a gun on him not wanting him to leave before they did.
