BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) A car thief who found a toddler in the backseat of a stolen vehicle drove back and chastised the mother for leaving the child unattended before taking off again, police in Oregon said.

A store employee told authorities the woman was in the market for a few minutes before someone began driving away with the SUV. Once the thief realized the toddler was in the backseat, he drove back, berated the woman for leaving her child unattended, told the woman to take the child and drove away in the stolen vehicle.
He actually lectured the mother for leaving the child in the car and threatened to call the police on her, Henderson said.

The vehicle was found a few hours later in Portland but police are still searching for the thief. The suspect was said to be in his 20s or 30s with dark brown or black braided hair and a multi-colored face mask.
Police said anyone with information on the theft should contact the department.

"DU Fam, the CAR THIEF, (as in the dude that stole the car), threatened to call the "po-po" on mom for leaving her child in the car by himself." Hilarious!!

Well, it appears to be ABSOLUTELY true. Wow, just wow! LOL! I cannot stop laughing... I mean, he was right but Bruh did steal a car & cane across said toddler in the same car he stole. So,

What mom did was far more offensive, ethically, than a simple joyride (temporary deprivation of property).
Great story!
