    someone almost stole my car

    So someone tried to steal my car last night and somehow broke the bolts that hold the shifter assembly to the car trying to get the car in reverse

    Now half the time I turn the key in the ignition nothing happens(no lights nothing)

    Just had to walk to the hardware store to get 2 new bolts and now I'm good
    I guess I'm lucky

                Glad to know it wasn't taken, I too would be more careful now, they're likely to make new attempts

                Curious how the shifter assembly bolts kept lights from coming on while ignition switched to ON?

                  No I think the reason nothing happens when I turn the key has to do with the likely hood they used a flat head screwdriver for a key

                    Being unable to put a car into reverse without the ignition turned on isn't a function of a manual car. Neither is not being able to start the car when you have problems engaging the neutral-safety switch.
