Zoe James was just going about her business when she received a surprise visit from the boys in blue.
The mum-of-three, from Pontypridd, had thought the knock on her front door earlier this week was from the postman.
Instead it was four members of the local police force - and they had some serious questions for her.
"They asked me how long I’d been home and if I could open my car for them.
I s**t myself and got my keys and opened the door for them."
What the police wanted to know, the mum explained in her Facebook post, was why Zoe would leave a newborn baby in the car by itself.

Zoe was gobsmacked.
"I explained my baby was five-years-old now and I had just dropped him to school with his two older sisters."
Then the penny dropped.
A police officer reached into the car and, pulling a car seat out, said, "this baby."
It took a little longer for Zoe to explain what had happened.

"I automatically laughed but the policewoman didn't find it funny and said that it was an offence to leave a baby unattended
"I quickly reached into the car seat an unwrapped the 'baby' out of its blanket to show them that it was Tess's reborn that she had left in there.
"These kids will be the death of me!"
We're not sure how the police reacted to this, but plenty of other parents saw the funny side of the misunderstanding.
