Burglar with a Baby? Stranger Found in Skokie Man's Garage
When confronted, the baby-holding man walked out "smiling as if he was supposed to be there."
SKOKIE, IL - A Skokie man returned home late Wednesday morning to find a man he did not know walking out of his garage holding a baby.
Security cameras installed in the garage of Vincent Giovannone captured the bizarre incident, which included the strange man entering the garage, trying to disable the cameras and then leave when he heard the garage door opening and Giovannone returning.
Giovannone told NBC 5 Chicago the man was “smiling at me as if he was supposed to be there” when they met in an alley behind the garage.
Nothing was stolen, but the break-in victim briefly attempted to follow the man and later called police.
