We had a stroller stolen at the Magic Kingdom. Nothing lost with it. I guess someone just wanted a cheap camo colored stroller.
But...how did they even see it???

Since the video didn't offer an explanation, I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there was some extenuating circumstance that led to her leaving everything in the stroller, especially her purse. Where the stroller was left doesn't look like it was parked in designated stroller parking for a ride. Maybe her child had to go potty RIGHT NOW and in her haste to get the child to the bathroom in time, she forgot about her purse. Or she could have left the stroller in the care of an older child who got distracted and wandered away. Or, she may have been naive and unguarded. But we just don't know...
I wonder if the advent of small tracking devices will start to put an end to this kind of theft happening.
Perhaps the um . . . remnants of that blow out were enough to deter anyone from bothering with your stroller lol.This happened to me on our last trip. Everyone else was riding rides while DD slept in the stroller. When she woke up and I picked her up she had the worst, messiest diaper blowout. It was disgusting and we were in a crowded area. On the stroller, her and me. I didn't want to touch anything. I grabbed our handy diaper caddy and rushed her to the bathroom. In that moment, I didn't even think about my wallet. I was thinking BATHROOM. NOW. I never intentionally leave valuables unattended. I am someone who always assumes the worst will happen. I made a mistake, and thankfully my wallet (along with recently purchased park merchandise that I wouldn't have been able to bring with me anyways) was still there when I returned. And I used it to by a new shirt for myself after that horrific diaper situation
I am not an airhead (I mean, I hope I'm not) or naive, but sometimes in life stuff happens and we make mistakes. I agree that many, many people at WDW feel a false sense of security and are easy targets and should be more careful. But there also can be other things that happen that might cause an otherwise conscientious person to accidentally be vulnerable.
But I thought that Disney had secret cameras everywhere and could help in situations like this?
Same reason I wont buy the oh so cute Disney beach towels that I love.This is why I try to never own something anyone else would want.

Yes probably not the best idea to leave all those things in the stroller - but as mentioned by others – giving the mother the benefit of the doubt – there may have been extenuating circumstances like having three kids and two have to go to the bathroom right away – so you just RUN – and assume or HOPE that everything will be ok....
I was wondering where the thread was about the stroller being stolen at Disney- it's all over the local news here in Orlando. The lady lost everything and her husband had to fly out to rescue her and had to go home the next day. Disney found a pic of the woman pushing her stroller and the thief tried to sell it on Facebook. I would have thought everybody would be chatting about this today since it's on every news broadcast here.
Now, with all that said...I know the girl who stole the stroller. Needless to say, all of us who know her are stunned. She's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She's not a monster and she's a great mom (well, if you ignore the whole using her daughter in the ruse thing). And, believe or not, she loves everything Disney. With that said, I find what she did abhorrent and sickening. According to the stories coming out, this probably wasn't her first time judging from the stuff she's sold previously.
Like I said, she's a nice person. I've never seen her be mean or have cross words with anyone. She obviously has a problem. This is going to be a really, really rough lesson for her to learn. Hopefully she gets the help she obviously needs.
