Indianapolis, IN- After 6 pm on Monday, 42-year old Penny Sparks called police and asked them to help her find her car. Sparks said she parked her car by a meter around 2:17 that afternoon to go shopping at a Nordstrom downtown. She somehow lost track of where she parked her car and, after walking several blocks searching for it, she decided to call 911.

That phone call made the police very determined to help Sparks locate her vehicle. This was not because the officers felt empathy for her silly-o-me forgetful situation.  The officers were concerned about the 2-year old child Sparks said she left inside her car and how long he had been there. “My name Penny Sparks and I want to get a police officer to help me find where my car is at, and I have to get my child,” said Sparks to a dispatch operator. The operator asked, “Where do you think you parked your car?” and Sparks replied, “I think I parked my car near Vermont and Delaware. But I do see a car there but I am too tired to walk.”
