The carjacking took place outside of a grocery store in Beaverton, Oregon on Saturday when the mom left the car running with the child in the backseat, local authorities said.
The mother left the car unlocked and went inside to buy a gallon of milk and some meat, acorrding to the Oregonian.
The thief happened to walk by and hopped in the car, the New York Post reported.
He soon realized the 4-year-old was in the backseat and U-turned in the parking lot, returning the child to the mother - but not without scolding her, according to Beaverton police.
"He actually lectured the mother for leaving the child in the car and threatened to call the police on her," Beaverton police spokesman Officer Matt Henderson told the Oregonian.
The thief ordered the mom to take the child before driving off in the stolen car.
"Obviously, we're thankful he brought the little one back and had the decency to do that," Henderson said.
My question is why didn't he remove the child from the backseat before he drove off? It's kinda like that dude who assulted a pregnant woman for smoking while pregnant. Something just doesn't add up.
