She left the motor running, too? Well, she learned a valuable lesson.
Honor among thieves, I suppose.
Keep the car. She deserved to loose it. He deserves it for brining the boy back and scolding the mother.
In another century, my Mother left my 6 year old older brother and I alone in a car while she ran in.
We managed to put the car into neutral and it rolled out of the parking lot.
Insanity if you ask me. She was wrong and he was wrong. Or as they say, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Did the mother promptly draw her weapon and shoot dead the kidnapping felon?
Oh, wait, left coast. He probably got a medal for preventing child neglect....
This reminds me of the story of a thief whos stole a brief case containing classified defense info during the run up to the Falklands campaign.
The case was dropped off at the Ministry of Defense with the folowing note:
“I may be a common thief, but I love my Queen and I love my country, and who ever left this briefcase to get stolen should be shot!”
Just another busy mom...
He is willing to take the heat for stealing a car, but not for stealing a child. For a car theft there usually won’t be any more action that the officer who goes out to take the report. A child abduction results in an Amber Alert with everyone in the metro area informed to be on the look out.
