Yeah the thief is clearly an awful person. The parents are also bad. The only character in this story that deserves empathy is the baby as he will be doubly harmed by having awful parents who just suffered a dire financial set back because of the actions of the thief.
That being said it is easy to commend the thief, even though we shouldn't, because we automatically have that empathy for the baby and disdain for the parents for being so irresponsible.
I really don't think an "awful person" would give two fucks about the baby. It sucks he feels like he has to steal cars but that alone doesn't make him awful and the fact that he was so concerned about the baby supports the claim that he is NOT awful
He is stealing from the baby. If he cared about the baby he wouldn’t steal from its family. He doesn’t want kidnapping charges, that doesn’t mean he cares about the baby.
So why not leave the baby on the side of the road?
Because that's definitely way worse legally than stealing a car?!
What? No, I mean instead of bringing the baby out, handing the baby to the parents and scolding them. Why didn't he just drop the baby's carrier in front of their house on the side of the road without even getting out of the car? His described behavior screams compassion to me
