Strolling for beer...
(Associated Press) Police in Washington state (U.S.) report a man tried to steal beer from a grocery store by putting it in a baby stroller. The store manager grabbed the stroller as the man, beer and baby rolled out the front door. A local newspaper reported a tug-of-war ended with the stroller on its side.
But the two-month-old baby girl wasn't hurt. Police said two other men, who had apparently been with the beer snatcher, grabbed the baby and drove away. The girl's mother said her baby was returned immediately after the incident (still sober..).
