A parent in Denmark's capital Copenhagen got an unwelcome fright when he returned to his bicycle where he had parked it outside a shop in the city's Nørrebro area only to discover it had been stolen. His three young children had been asleep in the transport box of the bicycle.

However, when the thief discovered that the transport box contained children he asked the eldest, aged seven, where the owner lived and returned the bicycle and its occupants unharmed.

Police subsequently arrested a 39 year old man for the theft.
