Security cameras caught a terrifying incident at a beauty salon in Tamarac, FL. Police are currently on the lookout for a thief who was caught robbing a 4-year-old.
While his mother was being trained at the hair salon, Alejandro watched cartoons on his iPad.
A young man came into the store and asked the little boy if his mom was there. She was standing right across from him, but when she turned her head for literally one second, the thief snatched the iPad from the boy's hands and ran away.
According to CBS Miami, the boy's mom and the salon owner chased the thief outside, but they lost him when he hopped over a fence.
I can't help but recall another story where a thief tried to snatch a young woman's cell phone — little did he know that she was a martial artist. Let's just say she got him good!
While Alejandro's perp may not have been caught, the little boy is still having the last laugh. When Olympic Gold Medalist Howard Davis Jr. heard his story, he and his family went to the salon to make things right. Davis gave the little boy a brand new iPad.
"That's a horrible thing to happen to a kid like that, " Davis said. "We should give when somebody needs."
