Two would-be carjackers saw what they assumed would be an easy mark. A woman delivering pizzas seemed like an easy person to take a car from.
Two carjackers from Oakland County Michigan wanted a car to steal and saw what they thought would be an easy mark. A woman driving alone and delivering pizzas.
The woman who was delivering pizzas in Oxford Township was made to get out of her car. She apparently didn't protest and got out.
The two carjackers jumped in the car ready to take off. The woman watched as her car rolled backward into a ditch.
The car not the woman turned out to be the problem for the two thieves. The car was a stick shift and they didn't know how to drive it.
The woman must have stood there laughing as the two ran off on foot.
Not a good day for the not so smart carjackers.
