My "WTF?" news story of the day...
In West Allis, WI, a guy runs off with a $40 snake, leaves his kid behind. 
WEST ALLIS, Wis. —A man could be facing charges after police say he stole a snake at a pet expo and left his son behind.
Exhibitors at State Fair Park said they were just starting to pack up Saturday night at the Great Lakes Pet Expo when the incident happened.
Cindy Steinle runs the reptile exhibit and said a volunteer was showing a corn snake to a boy when the boy's father walked off with the snake.
"In the 20 years I've been doing education like this, we've never had someone steal an animal and leave a child behind," Steinle said. "He (the volunteer) had given the snake to the child to pet and to hold, and the child handed the snake off to his father and his father left, leaving his child behind."
