> no education do it all around the world every day
I taught myself to drive stick on a rental car. It was probably extremely obvious to other cars that I had no idea what I was doing. Grinding gears, over-revving the engine especially in reverse, and stalling at every full stop. That would catch any cop's eyes. But to your point, after 3-4 hours I got the hang of it and was no longer attracting attention.
But to parent's point: A thief who doesn't drive stick is almost certainly going to prefer stealing an automatic.
