Walking to work this morning and saw a man get out of his car, leaving the door slightly open and run into his house. As I got closer (long road and uphill) I realised that there was a baby in a car seat on the front seat and the car engine was running. The man was in the a house for at least a couple of minutes. As I walked past he was still in the house, so I kept turning back after I had gone past and saw him locking the house and going back to the car.
I thought this was a really silly thing to do as the car could have been stolen, another car could have crashed into it, the baby could have been taken etc, but when I got into work and mentioned it my (mainly male) colleagues think it was a normal thing to do. One suggested that it’s because I do the Risk Assessments that I’m paranoid. So what does the Mumsnet Hive mind think?
