The joke is on this clueless hijacker!
According to ABCNews, an armed man tried to steal a Ford Mustang but ended up having to leave the car behind as police think it may be because he didn’t know how to drive a manual.
A woman was approached by the man in a Wendy’s parking lot in Seattle on Thursday night. He asked her for directions before pulling a gun out and pointing it at her head. He dragged her out of the 1998 Mustang and as she fell to the ground to manage to escape and ran to the restaurant to call 911.
When the police arrived on the scene the found the Mustang still parked in the parking lots drawing a conclusion that the hijacker did not know how to drive a manual transmission car.
“He couldn’t get the car moving,” Seattle Police Detective Patrick Michaud said today. “He gets into the car, he grinds the gears for a little bit, gets it to roll a little bit, but realizes he’s not able to drive it away. Then he ditches the car.”
The suspect has not yet been apprehended.
