They look like ugly pincushions with soulless black eyes. Even as a little girl, I thought they were scary.

yes, that is at least a very good thing

But then, smashing a window with a young child sitting in the car wouldn't end good. The child could get hit by the glass and they would probably become very scared. There's other ways to handle this situation.

If the windows were tinted, they would not be able to see in. Unless they were purposely peering in.

Also, Cabbage Patch kids look absolutely nothing like real babies. Kind of hard to see how one could mistake it as such.

A lot of little kids like to leave dolls in car seats, strap then in with seatbelts, have them at the dinner table, etc. So it's really not the OP's fault that the doll was there in the first place. I can see how a person could glance at the car, see a doll and make the assumption that it's a child, especially comsidering the asshats that'd do that to an actual child, but a double-take and a closer look should have cleared that up. Especially considering that Cabbage Patch Kids have a very distinct look about them. Sorry some dumbass tried to be a hero, OP. this is a good lesson in being observant.

that was exactly what I was thinking about if your windows r tinted its hard to tell what's real and wat isn't yes cabbage patch kids look different from a real child but at least this person was trying to do the right thing!

Possibly an assumption that it was a bunny. A very awkward looking bunny.

"I was just trying to save your ratbunny thing. it was a doll. but I took your stereo as payment."

Well actually, you live in Canada, it can't be that hot or cold up there right now, so unless you live in the ghetto, what's the harm in leaving a kid out there for a few minutes? Not that I'm condoning being a horrible parent, but they obviously didn't look close enough to see if the kid was suffering or if the parent was coming back, so would it have really been justifiable if there had been a kid in there?

are you retarded? you know Canada has fairly similar weather to the USA in most of the places that are populated right? We have reached easily 40C, aka 104F in the summer. Heat this time of year is common too. ffs the temp doesn't drop 50 degrees when you cross the boarder.

I live in Canada. Today the temperature was 33C. Two days ago it was 36C. in the winter it can get to -40C then add in the wind chill factor. So I guess the heat of over 30C we have had for the last couple weeks isn't THAT hot by your standards? Or our winters? Where do you get your information from? At least you don't think all Canadians live in igloos, I guess we can at least be thankful for that...

And well shit! You mean I have had my ac running for the past few weeks because I have been imagining this heat??? I am going to have a tough time explaining the electricity bill this month...

Are you serious? The temp doesn't automatically drop as soon as you cross the border? But, but, but...what about moose and flannel shirts and those furry flap hats and hockey everywhere? IT ALL CANNOT BE LIES!!

A child suffering from heat stroke would look like they're sleeping. You would not be able to tell if they are suffering or not.

#30 what in the crap is wrong with you?! Look up how long it takes for a child to die after being left alone in the car, it only takes a few minutes I can't believe you said that.

I hope you never breed.

I live in California, today it was 70 degrees. My car was 90 inside. Cars are made of metal and get to be up to 20 degrees hotter than the temp outside. That is why only a stupid person would leave their child in the car for "just a moment."

Please, Canadians, do not judge all the Americans by this stupid asshat. It is never ok the leave a child in a car. unless they deserve it (jk) or have the common sense and ability to leave if they become uncomfortable (probably like 15 and up).
