Miami police Officer Christopher Bess said the mother loaded her items and child into the car and told the driver to wait a moment while she went back inside her home to get a car seat.

Bess said the driver misunderstood her and thought he was taking the child to the intended destination.

The mother came outside to find that the car was gone and called 911.

Police later found the driver at the intended destination -- a daycare at 7134 Byron Street in Miami Beach.
