An employee of Save-A-Lot in Colorado Springs, Colorado was credited for finding a 3-month-old baby and returning her to her dad Monday.
Police said the father went into the store and left the truck running with the child inside. When he came out, the truck was gone.
Whoever took the truck left the little girl in her car seat next to a dumpster in a nearby alley.
“She was wide awake, and she looked in good health and good condition and everything. So I immediately just picked her up and took her inside,” said Mathew Barnes, a delivery driver for Save-A-Lot.
“It was really cold out and she wasn’t wearing socks or anything like that. She was pretty exposed to the elements so I just picked her up and took her inside with the car seat and the from there I just dialed 911 right away,” said Barnes.
Police on Monday night were looking for a stolen gray 2007 Dodge truck with Colorado license plate OJL-030.
