If you’re in the habit of leaving eerily lifelike baby dolls strapped into a car seat while you’re out and about, you might want to reconsider, unless, of course, you like having your car’s windows smashed open: police in Oakland, Calif. say emergency responders busted the window of a vehicle after passersby reported a baby locked inside, only to find it was a very human looking doll that’d been placed in a rear-facing car seat, just like a living child would be.

An officer with the Oakland Police Department told ABC News that emergency personnel forced their way into the vehicle on Monday, because that’s just what has to be done when a report like that comes in.

“Although this incident did not involve a baby or small child, it was unknown at the time,” the officer said. “And first responders’ number one priority is to ensure … safety.”

It’s unclear why the owner of the car left the doll in the back seat, but it’s unlikely they’ll make that mistake again. Because as it turns out, people who see what appears to be child in a locked car with the windows up are going to report it. Which of course, is a good thing for any real babies in that situation, so keep it up, guys.

“We encourage anyone who believes there is a dangerous situation such as this incident to contact emergency personnel so we can make that determination,” the officer added.

The skeleton is SO MUCH LESS TERRIFYING than that baby doll.

Oh holy shit.

I totally would have smashed that window myself if I saw that baby doll inside. What kind of a fucking idiot do you have to be to do that?

I feel like I would be smashing windows to get *out* of that car and away from that creepy doll.

The only thing more terrifying than that doll would have been if it had started melting while in the seat.

I suspect dolls like that come with voodoo curses.

You would think that someone who takes a doll around in a carseat would have had a little more concern for it's welfare.

That's the point. Something fun not scary. Although Brian had a makeover last Halloween & now has skin & glowing eyeballs.

Our skeleton, Bones, was One Eyed Willie for Halloween. This year I'm getting him a pirate vest too.



God I hate lifelike dolls. Thanks for the phobias, older brother!

I mean, what other option did that person have? You could leave the doll in the car seat or let it follow you around the office causing pandemonium that someone thought a baby was being drug around the office.

My daughters have done this before. They'll have their babydoll in the car with them and then leave it in their car seat when we go in a store. Looks like we'll need to find somewhere else for the doll!
