That has happened. Manuals are truly impossible to steal if the thief has absolutely no clue about how to operate one. I recall an incident where a thief attempted to take a Corvette, even with some guidance from the owner(likely didn't want the thief to fry the clutch or kill the gearbox) said thief failed and was arrested.
As for driving this car with a manual...this car is remarkably easy. Its actually almost as easy and as forgiving as my sister's Civic. The only odd thing is the bite point but I've driven a BMW like that so that seems more like something to get used to. My Impreza...that was a tough car to start learning stick as it had nearly no tolerance for inaccuracy. Stalled it so many times that I'm glad it was built really tough.
