Luke left Teddy Bear on a bench by the baggage claim after returning home from a family trip to Colorado.

Knowing how to work a stick shift allowed a South Carolina woman to stick it to her kidnappers.

Three men grabbed Jordan Dinsmore, 20, and forced her to drive them in her car because they didn’t know how to work the stick, she told cops.

“I’m going to be driving a manual for the rest of my life,” Dinsmore vowed.
