Stick shift vehicle thwarts another carjacking in DC area
Thieves Foiled by Stick Shift: Another Hilarious Carjacking Fail
Amidst the alarming surge of carjackings in the Washington, D.C., area, a group of would-be thieves recently found themselves in an embarrassing predicament. Their grand plan to steal a Porsche was abruptly halted when they realized they couldn’t handle a stick shift.
But let’s rewind a bit. Before this comical twist of fate, the group had violently attacked a man in Bethesda, Maryland, pistol-whipping him and snatching his car keys at gunpoint. In a stroke of luck, the victim managed to escape into a nearby business while the clueless suspects struggled to operate the manual transmission of the stolen vehicle.
Stick Shift Strikes Again: A Familiar Tale
This isn’t the first time such a hilarious incident has occurred. Back in September, three men attempted to rob a poor soul in Arlington, Virginia, only to flee in panic when they realized the car had a manual transmission. And let’s not forget the March incident in Germantown, Maryland, where a couple of clueless teenagers failed miserably at their carjacking attempt because they couldn’t drive stick either.
It’s worth noting that car thefts have skyrocketed by a staggering 93% in 2023, according to the Metropolitan Police Department. As of Monday, a mind-boggling 6,317 cars have already been stolen this year. But here’s the kicker: only around 18% of American drivers can actually handle a manual transmission.
So, as we witness these bumbling criminals fall flat on their faces, it’s a reminder that sometimes, the stick shift can be a thief’s worst enemy.
