My Tacoma has a button you can press that makes starting the truck without pressing the clutch possible. It can either be in gear, which I've never tried, or out of gear.

The clutch in my wife's 5 series has to be fully down for the starter to activate, there is no 'clutch delete' feature.

Neither vehicle would I put a remote starter on...and I can't imagine why anyone with a manual would want one.

An attendant who identified himself as Roberto said he retrieved the car at the man’s request and engaged the parking brake while waiting for the owner to come. Roberto said he handed off the keys to the man who then went to pay the cashier. That’s when the car began moving.

Roberto is full of shite. Had he engaged the parking brake the car would not have began to move.
