Default Dumbest car jacker of all time?

Seriously, the post on the HP says that the guy was tripped up by the automatic transmission here? What? How the hell do you get tripped up by an automatic? It's not like there's anything confusing about the box in a RX 300. Pretty awesome that the thief was stopped when a garbage man sat on him though! Ha ha!

Would you kindly provide a link to, or some kind of reference, to the specific incident you are talking about? Simply saying "the post on the HP" tells us nothing.

Thanks. Interesting story. Those garbage workers clearly took a chance, though....as did the woman in the Audi. By luck (and perhaps God's grace), nobody got hurt, but that carjacker was armed, and there could have been several dead bodies left in the street.
