From WXIA-TV Atlanta:
Carjackers Unable To Swipe Stick ShiftSuch nice people...
Remember the movie "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight?" Now, meet "The Carjacking Crew That Couldn't Drive." A couple of teens jumped a person leaving work at an east Cobb pizzeria. They tried to steal his car, but couldn't.
Bellacino's Pizzeria closes at 9 p.m. That's when one of the employees left work out a back door, where his car was parked. He was approached by two teens armed with a gun, who demanded his wallet and his car keys.
The employee wisely gave both up.
The suspect jumped into the victim's car, but he couldn't get it started, because it didn't have an automatic transmission. It was a standard shift with a clutch pedal.
The victim ran back into the pizzeria and called police. After a few minutes, other employees opened the back door expecting the criminals to be gone.
"And I look out, and the guy's still in his car, trying to start the car, but all he has is the radio on, 'cause you have to keep the clutch down to start the engine," said pizzeria employee J.J. Williamson.
Frustration turned to resignation, and the suspects left the scene in a more conventional way -- they ran. But not fast enough before Cobb police arrested Joshua Johnson, 18, and a juvenile.
