Protip for carjackers: Learn to drive a stick before deciding to steal that car you saw and decided you wanted.

Yes, a pair of Florida carjackers discovered that car manufacturers do still make cars with manual transmissions.

Ocala Star-Banner reports:

Ocala Police Department officers spoke with the owner of a 2014 Toyota Corolla near the city's ice skating rink. The man told them he was sitting in his car talking on his cellphone when a man with a gun tapped on the driver's side window. Another man stood by the passenger's side window.

The gunman demanded he get out of the car and hand over his money. The victim said he told the man he didn't have any cash. The robber ordered him to give him his wallet, which he did. The robber then demanded his keys, a report states.

The victim handed over the keys and quickly walked away from the car and headed west toward Southeast First Avenue. He said he saw the robbers trying to drive away, but they had trouble making the car move.

The victim, meanwhile, stopped another motorist and asked the person to call police. Before officers arrived, the robbers ran from the car, which still had the keys in the ignition.

Oops! Crime just doesn't pay.
