Man leaves son in truck, calls police on himself
A 39-year-old man left his 5-year-old son in a tractor-trailer while he went into an Indianapolis strip club to drink, police said.
When he came out, he called police to report that his truck was stolen and his kid missing. But police say he was simply too drunk to remember where he had parked. When authorities located the truck, they found the boy inside watching cartoons. The keys were in the ignition and the doors were unlocked.
