woman loads 5-year olds gifts into wrong car after birthday party

Mixup leads to 5-year-old losing all his birthday gifts



PEABODY, Mass. - A 5-year-old Massachusetts boy is heartbroken after the gifts he received at his birthday party were accidentally loaded into the wrong vehicle and disappeared.

Jessica Fratoni, of Peabody, tells The Salem News that a friend offered to put her son Gage's new Legos, action figures and other gifts in the mother's Honda Pilot after the birthday party at a bowling party Sunday.

The friend apparently loaded the gifts into the wrong Honda Pilot.

Fratoni contacted the bowling alley, which got in touch with other parties at the facility, but no one has come forward. She also contacted police and went on Facebook to appeal for the gifts' return.

Fratoni says her son cried and losing the gifts is "the worst thing that could possibly happen to a 5-year-old boy."

That it's the worst thing that happens.

Reminds me of that stupid commercial for monostat, or whatever it's called. Woman says, "there's nothing worse than a yeast infection " at the height of the AIDS pandemic.

If I found my car filled with toys I'd wonder if it was my birthday.
Then I'd look for the crying kid so I could return 'em.
