Woman Leaves Toddler Strapped in. Man Steals Car With Child Inside

A woman leaves her toddler in her running car when she goes into the store. Dude comes out, sees running car - crime of opportunity and takes the car. Now he's got the crime of kidnapping added to grand theft auto. Yeah, he's a scumbag and a moron, but you know what? So's that mother.

As tired as I am of seeing lazy people get out of their cars, leave them running (Woot! Free car!), and run into a store, I'm even more tired of lazy mothers leaving their children strapped into said running vehicles so they can go get a friggin lottery ticket or a pack of smokes. And the police aren't going to charge her? It's a damn felony to leave your kid unattended in a vehicle.
