Better know how to drive in you intend to steal a car

EDMONTON (Reuters) - The two young Canadians who attempted on 01/01 to steal 
the car of a pizzas deliverer have failed, having clearly forgotten that, to 
escape with a car, it was necessary to know how to drive.

The police of Edmonton, in the State of Alberta, reports that the two teenagers 
have begun by demanding the deliverer the four pizzas that he transported as 
well as all the money he was bringing. Abruptly changing their mind, they then 
climbed in his car.

Once behind the wheel, one of the young thieves has realized that the gearbox 
was not an automatic one and that he was incapable to operate neither the 
clutch nor the speed lever.

Disconcerted, the duet has then returned to its initial project, running away 
with the pizzas. 

"It was either one, pizzas or car. They knew at least how to use the pizzas", 
has declared a policeman.

The two teenagers have been arrested and the pizzas retrieved.
