Criminals are far from perfect, especially when committing a crime, and in this case, in Illinois, the car thief committed an epic fail. In this case that recently occurred in Illinois, the suspect made an epic fail. Since I was never taught, there is no reason to purchase or rent a vehicle with a stick shift. Apparently, this car thief in Illinois didn't get the memo. Once the car thief was in the vehicle, he realized that he just committed an epic fail.
