   SPRINGFIELD, MASS. –  A trio of would-be Massachusetts car   
   thieves had to hit the brakes on their plan because none of them   
   knew how to drive a stick.   
      
   Police in Springfield say the men pulled a knife on a food   
   delivery driver Tuesday night and demanded the grub and his   
   keys. But then they noticed the car had a manual transmission.   
      
   Sgt. John Delaney tells The Republican newspaper   
   (http://bit.ly/1mahyod) the thieves argued among themselves then   
   ran down the street with their ill-gotten dinner.   
      
   The driver was not seriously hurt. There have been no arrests.
