Amber Alert: Vehicle Stolen in Bridgeview With 4-Year-Old Boy Inside​

An Amber Alert was issued Monday evening after a minivan with a four-year-old boy inside was stolen from outside a gas station in south suburban Bridgeview, police said.

At approximately 5:37 p.m., Liam J. Barbarasa was inside a 2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette van outside the 7-Eleven gas station when someone stole the vehicle.

The boy's father told police he went into the 7-Eleven to purchase food, and when he came out, he discovered the vehicle had been stolen.

The minivan was later spotted at 26th and California on the Southwest Side of Chicago, but police weren't able to determine if the boy was inside at the time.
 
Call me crazy but what is this lack of shoes in these cases and this is in Illinois in November?

No accusation of any kind, there is no reason for one, it is simply the second shoeless child I read about here in the last few hours here today so it stood out...
 
And, of course, my prayers for this child. I fear for this one's safety.

Whoever this was must have been desperate, they stole a 19 year old vehicle at a gas station where most know there are generally security cams. Teen? Drugs? Why? I mean no one is going to make big money off a vehicle of that age, maybe enough to fund a habit for a short time... Or get down the road to a party? Or run from something? Or did they want the child and knew a child was in there? That's more worrisome yet...
