A while back, there were a couple car jacking in JC foiled because the car being jacked had a manual transmission. Apparently, using a stick and clutch is a "lost art" with many of the criminally minded.

Seems like the Newark Carjacking crews are targeting JC again. I was listening to my scanner app last night and police are looking for two Dodge Caravans one white and one brown connected to the recent jackings. So be careful if you see any Dodge Caravans following your car or you are bumped from behind by one.
