AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A shoplifter looking to make a quick getaway from a Dutch supermarket after stealing a packet of meat left police a crucial piece of evidence -- his 12-year-old son.
In his haste the 45-year-old thief made a solo dash to his car, batting away a supermarket worker who had flung himself on the vehicles' bonnet in a bid to stop the escape.
Police in the southern Dutch town of Kerkrade said they managed to contact the thief via the boy, but he had refused to return and collect his son. The man told officers to get hold of the youngster's mother instead.
The thief later turned himself in Thursday, a police spokeswoman said.

A British woman, 57, could thank her lucky stars that a lump she thought was ovarian cancer, turned out to be her first pregnancy. She was 7-months pregnant when test revealed she was to have a girl.
Susan Tollefsen, will be one of the oldest known mothers in Britain when she has a Caesarean next week to deliver the child. Several IVF treatments failed prior to this pregnancy, which she thought she miscarried.
"I was lying on the examination table thinking, 'I'm going to die' when the sonographer turned round to me and said 'Congratulations'. My initial reaction was to think, 'What a terrible way to tell me I've got ovarian cancer."
