Cops in Seattle were forced to break into a car on Thursday night to rescue a baby who’d been left in her car seat for more than eight hours.
King County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the garage at around 6 p.m. after getting a call that a baby girl was locked in the back left seat of Nissan Sentra parked at the Thornton Place shopping center, local KOMO-TV reported.
The tyke’s father, Matt Steele, reportedly left her there at around 10 a.m. after forgetting to drop her at day care.
Asked how he could have left the tot, Steele told the station “I don’t have an explanation for that.”
The little girl’s mother, who was not identified, arrived at the scene after picking up her older children from day care and realized her youngest was not there.
Deputies used a special tool to jimmy open the lock.
