I think this is hilarious. Just imagine you are that 17-year-old.  The adrenaline is flowing. Your heart is pumping. After forcing your entry you hurriedly reach to put the vehicle in drive and...oh shit...the shift won't move...and everytime you try to move it it makes a terrible, loud grinding noise...which is causing attention you don't want...hee,hee...you screamingly demand instructions from the victim...clutch, what the hell is a clutch?...ha,ha...I can just imagine the lurching that went on before they freaked out and ran away!

You urban-dwellers don't need a fancy anti-theft device, or one of those gps trackers. No sir, all you need is a stick shift!
