This reminds me of another good one, it probably belongs in Sightings but it relates to this post so well...
My mom and I ran into the grocery store for a quick shopping trip a few years ago. When we finished up, we saw a little girl (Between 4 and 6, very young,) in the minivan parked a couple of cars down. (It had been parked there before we had left.) The clincher? The minivan was ON. As in, the engine was RUNNING. My mom and I waited, but no parent appeared to be in the vicinity.
We waited almost half an hour before we called the cops. It took 'em less than five minutes or so to get there, and about twenty more before the little girl's mommy had finished up shopping. She walked out of the store carrying the huuuuge bags of groceries, then got angry, defensive, etc. when the cop demanded she produce her liscence, and the whole nine. Her most frequented line was "I was only gone five minutes!" Well, the cop himself knew better. The best thing I heard him say? "Ma'am, if it were up to me, we'd be taking this little girl right now." Heh, pwned.
Just another example of how much my mom rocks. XD
