DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - A toddler who was sleeping in the backseat of a car stolen from a Dayton gas station was found unharmed when a passing motorist spotted her strapped in her car seat in some brush along the side of a city street, authorities said.
The car was stolen around 4:30 p.m. Thursday when the child’s father stopped at the station to use an ATM. The thief drove off, apparently unaware the child was in the backseat, authorities said.
The child was found about 30 minutes and was soon reunited with her family.
The car thief remained at large Friday. The stolen vehicle has not been recovered.
