In the local news today, three armed men tried to steal a pizza delivery car.. but we suspect that they were Millennials:
"... They threatened the driver and demanded their vehicle, one of the suspects took out a gun, and another brandished a knife.
According to police, the trio of suspects weren’t able to take the driver’s vehicle because the victim’s car was stick shift and the suspects were unable to drive it."
