Another crime foiled by that most humble of devices, the manual transmission.
The Detroit Free Press: Carjacking, robbery incident rattles Canton Walmart
A Westland man is accused of aiming two stolen airguns at employees and customers inside a Canton Walmart and attempting two carjackings outside the store, before police arrived and captured him.Authorities say Faheem Tamir-Saul Nance, 25, also claimed he had a bomb in the backseat of a Honda Accord he allegedly tried to steal, but his claims were unfounded.
The car Faheem finally managed to car-jack had a stick shift that stumped him, leading to his capture.
Nance was arraigned Monday in 35th District Court on one count of armed robbery; two counts of carjacking; one count of making a false report or threat of a bomb; one count of felony firearm; and six counts of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Waving air guns around pretending they're real, armed robbery, and two attempted car-jackings should get him a nice long time making license plates, if not time to bone up on how to use a clutch.

The anti-theft device known as a "manual transmission".
I like it.
SJ: That it is. They don't make a lot of cars with them anymore, and the average no-goodnik of today doesn't seem to know how to drive them.
