We got our dog 2 years ago at a Taco Bell. We were heading inside when my wife saw him in a car with the window down about 1 inch in 90 degree weather. I looked around, didn't see anybody, opened the door, took the dog and we left. The dog saved my life because I didn't stick around to eat that garbage. Yes, I'm a thief and yes, I'd do it again.

Good. Leave the screaming brat in the car. I don't need to hear that when im shopping or eating. Just don't do that with a dog or I will murder you.

probesport: I've had more stray dogs show up on my property than stray kids so I would say your logic is flawed.

Have you ever released a kid into the wild? They usually don't last long enough to wind up on someone else's property.

/ the owls and eagles see to that

"(People) think they're running in for a minute and don't realize how long they're in the store," Dickinson said.

It's a toddler. Just leave the car running with the A/C on full blast and give the kid a .32.

Meh. The world has plenty of people in it. We could stand to lose a few here and there. Plus they can always make more.

KungFuJunkie: I think you need to pass an IQ test before youown a car have a child . Fail it and you have to spend 30 min locked in a car in the sun in 90+ temps.

Fixed, though the human race would be extinct within two generations.

I listen to police scanners all day, and the frequency with which things like this happen is staggering. At least a few a week - and those are just the ones that are reported. I understand the desire to leave your rat-bastard kid in the car, but you just cant do it.

It's summer sizzler season, and another post-natal abortion attempt is foiled. Parents were probably hoping that after whipping up some quick tears and a bit of hand-wringing and public shaming, the judge would let them off with the usual, "They've suffered enough already," and they'd have one fewer mouth to feed.

It's not winter, people. Don't leave the kids in the car unless it's in an underground parking garage.

Every year we get stories like this. It's like people never learn.
