Shoplifter forgets son!

Gee, how embarrassing. You go in for one thing, leave without another, and it turns out to be your child. Oh, and you were too busy shoplifting to remember to get him on the way out!

A shoplifter in Amsterdam five-fingering a pack of meat accidentally left his twelve-year-old son in the supermarket he stole from. The thief was, naturally, traced because of his son. When contacted by authorities he refused to claim his son and asked that they call the child's mother instead.

Eventually, the shoplifter did turn himself in. Not only was he setting a bad example for his child, but my guess is that in addition to shoplifting charges he could face abandonment, endangering a child and a bunch of other things too.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...yet, true, true, true. Thankfully the son wasn't charged as an accomplice or anything.

Post funnier ones, please!
