someone has just stolen my child's toy :(

[goldenduckling]

My ds is 2.5 and crazy about bing (annoying black rabbit on cbeebies) since there is no bing toys available yet I found a pattern online and made him a cuddly toy bing. This has received a lot of attention and have happily taken peoples email addresses and linked them to the pattern.
This morning we went to the park and a woman approached me asking about my ds's bing, I offered to email her the pattern but she said she wanted to buy the one that I had made. I explained that he wasn't for sale but she kept offering me more and more money (£50 ) in the end after trying to explain I snapped a bit, said that its my son's favourite toy and its not for sale and to please leave me alone now.
She huffed off and left with her dd, less than a minute later my ds started crying "bing gone" I assumed he had dropped him off the climbing frame but couldn't find him anywhere, I walked to the other end of the park and saw this woman getting in her car with bing in her hands! I tried to run after her but she drove off, got my phone out to try and take a picture of the number plate but it was to late.
Who on earth would do that? I'm going in between being angry and trying not to cry. Ds cried the whole way home and is now looking around trying to find him
My dd is a year old and we have been in and out of hospital with her for her whole life. I made bing as a present for ds for being angel at all of dds appointments, he even helps to stop her crying during tests.
Lucky I have lots of fabric left over so I'm desperately cutting out fabric to make another one.
I'm just in shock, who on earth would take a toy off a 2year old!
I really don't think the police would be interested in a homemade toy being stolen, sorry for the pity post, I just needed to rant

She's a cunt.

That's hideous behaviour.

Holy crap that is outrageous.
What a vile woman.
I don't know what to say really. It's just crazy.
What a bitch.

your ds will eventually forget about it, but you never will.

Oh my god! What a bitch! Poor you and poor DS

What an evil bitch, whenever she looks at that toy in her child's hands she is going to remember how she go it and hopefully feel some shame if she is capable of that.

That's hidious behavour !!!

What an arsehole!

That's disgusting. I cannot believe someone would do that.

By the way do you have any active local sites like lost and found ones or local memories on Facebook. If so post the story on there and a picture of the toy if you haven't so people will know if they see her child with it how she got it.

Your poor DS

Some People Are Cunts

For you

Reading this actually made me feel sick, that a grown woman and a mother could STEAL from a CHILD in a playground. My blood is absolutely boiling for you op, boiling.

Did you see her license plate by any chance? The police could get an address from it if you had it (but you were probably in too much shock to notice...I would be)

That is appalling I doubt she will feel any shame tho she mustn't have feelings to take the toy off a child in the first place! On your behalf!

What an awful, horrible woman.
However, luckily you had practice in making one so you can do it again. Maybe add something extra special to this one for your ds.

I hope she's reading this and seeing that's she's vile.

Truly disturbing behaviour. Totally psychopathic.

That is really horrid. Who would do that to a 2 year old, especially after being told it was his favourite toy.

and I hope karma catches up with her.

car? area? description? Let's hunt this fucker down.

I'd consider facebooking it. Do you have a local site? Put a picture of the toy, brief description of her and her car. With any luck one of her friends will see it and embarass her. What a fucker.

Handsoffmysweets I don't consider that drastic at all I'm sitting here thinking what I would be doing to get her and came up with all those suggestions.

That is awful, Your poor ds and you of course!

I am so angry for You.

What a nasty bitch.

Id definitly put some posts on local Facebook groups about this. Hopefully she sees it, though you wonder if the sort of person who can do this would ever feel bad even if told how upset your dd is.

mamaslatts my thoughts exactly, people can't get away with this. It is a VERY rare hand made toy, the only one of its kind. Someone will know her...

What a disgusting piece of work. How on earth could a grown person do that to a small child.

There are no words...

Okay.

Practical stuff. Do you have a photo of said bunny? A description of psycho bi-atch. Know where it happened? Time it happened? Vague idea of what car she was driving? Witnesses?

Go to your local paper. Report the theft to the police.

And cover your local FB page. I have no plans today, I'll do it for you if you like.
