Baby left in car is found safe and well by police

A baby which was taken as part of a car theft is apparently fine and back with his mother Wednesday. The vehicle, a Honda CRV, was taken while the woman was inside a Shell station at Rexwood and Derry Roads in Mississauga, having left her 9-month old son in the back seat. When she came out after paying, the car was seen leaving the lot. Police say it was abandoned a very short distance from the station. Presumably the car thief was surprised to find he had stolen someone’s child as well as the car. It is a cautionary tale for all people with children although many will say it passes all knowing why an infant would be left in an unlocked car.
