OMG, hope she's ok.

I always think parents are paranoid about the safety of their kids. But you leave them in the car for just a second, and some dickhead swipes your car!?

Really hope they find her and this ends okay.
I can only imagine the perp shitting his pants right now trying to figure out how he ended up with a 4 y/o in the back seat.

Police say the vehicle had been left running with the child inside when it was located. Police say the child is OK but will be checked out.

The "amber alert" system worked well IMHO, it came on our TV interrupted everything and even had my kids informed of the situation. Say what you will about our systems. They were on it!

Child was in the open/idling car for up to 10 minutes while the parent went back inside......

Glad things ended well.

That parent deserves the heart attack they likely suffered.
10 minutes is a ridiculously long time to leave a kid in a running car. That's not just popping into a convenience store for some smokes or lottery tickets.

They told the police that they went back in to get the baby/younger kid for a car ride so the 10 minutes can likely go by quickly (I assume the other kid was not quite bundled up or had everything else packed up and ready to go). Not sure why they wouldn't have both ready to go so they wouldn't leave a child sitting unattended in an idling car for that long. Wouldn't do that for my dog.

Glad it all worked out.

I am not defending the mom's action, but being a dad with the kids on my own at times, in the winter, say with a set of stairs to get to the house. I had challenges myself, especially if one needed to be carried. Strapping in the older one first, was my method too, My little bugger would tend to get away. She could have done better, sure she could have. She had probably done that "method" dozens of times before. Blaming the mom is easy, but honestly, the prick that Stole the car needs a nut kick IMHO.
