Dumb Criminals: LA Car Thief Can't Drive Manual Transmission
LOS ANGELES -- An inability to steal an auto with a clutch and manual transmission sent a car thief to jail today in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, a police sergeant said.
Officers saw the suspect driving erratically about 4:50 a.m. near 18th Street and Westmoreland Avenue, said Los Angeles police Sgt. J. Kevany of the Olympic station.
"Officers saw the guy driving a stick shift -- like he didn't know how to drive a stick shift," Kevany said. "He made eye contact with the officers and drove away."
