Meanwhile in New Jersey . . .

Theft is not a leave-a-penny-take-a-penny situation. You can’t just steal stuff under the condition of you leave something else behind — even if that something is more of a someone.

Three women with three children went into a New Jersey baby store for some baby supplies (we mean, why else would they be there).

Well, two of the women distracted a sales associate while the third woman stole a stroller . . . then everyone cut out of the store.

Unfortunately, not everyone was accounted for, and two of the women had to go back to the store for the CHILD they left behind!!

Maryann Cash (23) and Nan McCarthy (20) were arrested for shoplifting and conspiracy, but the third woman is still at large.

Here’s a real kicker . . . the two women arrested were from England, and the stroller they were trying to steel was a fancy one from a British company — sooooo, it would have been a heck of a lot cheaper had they just bought it once they went back home.

It’s really saying something when you’re more concerned about baby items than the baby itself . . .
