I read your comment about the female being pregnant and the man saying they couldn't afford anything like that so he took it. I don't think pressing charges is going to lead anywhere as the item has been returned. Perhaps you could post a letter outlining the fact that the seat was a joint savings effort, because it's not something your family has funds to lavishly splash out on either. Also just how devastating it was to find such a precious item had been stolen. I know it's a bit of a nothing idea, but it makes me so mad that people just take from other people because they feel they are hard done by. I'd hope this man could comprehend his isn't the only family to struggle, you don't know others situations and stealing their possessions is a horrendous act. You could also add in some business info of places that offer assistance (pre loved baby gear, formula coupons etc) just to hammer home the point that being a kind, humble person is the greatest asset of all.
Stressed!!!!!! Over a stolen car seat I got back
The moose is a private club. They are a group of people that help anyone in need.
My husband and I scrimped and scrapped to make sure we bought our fourth child that graco forever car seat. We got lucky and managed to get it on sale for $265 back in March. We have four children and I was happy to finally be able to afford to buy what I wanted for our last child. He was born in November and we had a cheap infant car seat I hated so this one was a big deal.
Well Saturday night my husband is at a child's benefit at a private club. He took the kids they had bands, bounce houses, games, a huge smoker for food. My husband figured $10 a person it included you food went to a good cause he took the kids. I was at work as usual and he sends a message to me. Hey you mind if I stay and watch the fight. I say no I'll come and get the kids. Well the baby pooped and so I went and changed him before we left. My husband goes and moves the car seat to my car because he is blocked in. Didn't realize i locked my doors. It's 11:00pm now he leaves in between my car and a friends it's dark. Comes grabs my keys sees I'm ready grabs the diaper bag and we walk to my car. The car seat is gone. I walk in crying saying my babies car seat has been stolen and I have no other seat for him and no way to get him home.
The guy that stole it is right in front of me this whole time. Pays his bill and leaves. I have to stay there with all three on my boys till I find someone to loan me a seat. Two hours go by I finally get home. I don't sleep at all.
Well we go back today they check the cameras. The people are caught on camera. They had called right before they walked in for food so they had there number. We called them and the seat was returned. But the moose said if it was returned and they apologized charges wouldn't be pressed. I pressed them. I realize my history left the seat by my car yes. But when we called his girlfriend to ask about the seat she admitted he stole it. He knew that is was my sons. And that he had no intentions on returning it but he was gone so if they came and got it while he was with his dad that was fine. We could have it back.
He only came to apologize after the cops showed up at his house because I had his address. I'm so stressed about the situation my gut told me to press charges but the moose is making me feel bad about it.

The sad part is they had money because the girl had a coach purse and pulled out a matching wallet to pay there bill. They left the waitress a really good tip. I think the story was bull because they wanted us to feel bad. When asked how far along she was she said one week pregnant and she just found out yet they had already planned the baby shower. This is what my husband told me they said because I was at work. I honestly believe they had full intentions on selling it.
I'd press charges 💯. What is this world coming to? If you 'don't have the money' it's okay to STEAL it?! Hopefully that man gets his head on straight and raises his child(ren) with some respect and honesty 🙄
Al
Same here! I've donated a ton of food/baby supplies/clothing to 'needy' families rather than 're selling'.....we always give back and help where we can. But what they did, steeling from a family who really needed it, was not okay. And if they need a lesson in that, so be it 🤷🏼♀️
Sh
Exactly and I'm the type of person if it was really needed I would do what I can to help
Al
Pregnant or not, that is NO excuse! And people still try to justify his illegal activity?! This is what's wrong with America 🤦🏼♀️
Of course press charges, they stole something.
Al
Courts don't look at it like that. "Made whole" means she's not out of her item because it was returned.
Am
Not sure what that means. Plus they could have done a number of things to it. What if it got dropped? Don't want you baby in a defective seat.
Al
It was returned so she "has been made whole".
Who is the moose???
Al
You could press charges as a civil suit but there's no guarantee he will pay you to replace it
Sh
Well everything was caught on tape. She returned it now him and he stole it. It came back disgusting smelling like animal. The straps where all messed up they had it pulled apart. I'm worried what they did to the seat when they had it. I'm not saying I want him to get jail time or a fine but he needs some sort of repercussions for his actions
Al
The fact you got it back is why he wouldn't get the fine or jail time. She disgusts me too. I would have made him return it. This shows how they live
