Thieves
allegedly stole a car in Ghent, Virginia, – but before they
drove off with the vehicle, they decided to drop the eight-year-old child
sitting in the back seat off at school.
His
mum had to start work half an hour before lessons began, so she got into the
habit of leaving him in her car listening to music while she got things started
at the post office.
But
this time, opportunistic thieves noticed the vehicle was running and hopped
inside.
When
the boy’s mum realised what happened she phoned the police, naturally desperate
to find out he was okay.
All
kinds of scenarios must have been going through her mind, like child abduction
or kidnap.
Luckily, the cops found him ten minutes
later ‘sitting in class as if nothing had happened,’ Norfolk police spokeswoman
Melinda Wray told People magazine. The
boy told the men where he went to school and they just dropped him there after
claiming his mum had asked them to.
And
they even managed to trace the car, because the boy’s mum had left her iPhone
inside with software allowing her to track where it was.
It
all had a happy ending – although police still haven’t caught the thieves.
