40. Car Thief Can't Drive
EDMONTON, Alberta Fri Jan 3 (Reuters) - Two Canadians learned that
knowing how to drive a car is important when you want to steal one.
Police said the two males stopped a pizza delivery man in Edmonton,
Alberta, early on Wednesday. They demanded the four pizzas he was
carrying as well as cash.
The 17- and 18-year-old men then changed their minds and decided to
steal the pizza delivery man's car. They jumped into the man's car. The
17-year-old tried to drive it but didn't know how to drive a manual car.
The pair then got out of the car and took the cash and the pizzas.
Police arrested the two men.
