Neglectful behavior.

Amother Cyan--
Years ago, in a really safe neighborhood, my aunt was leaving her house with her baby when she realized she forgot something inside. She debated for a second leaving her baby in the stroller while she ran in because he was already strapped in, but then decided she should just bring him in with her. When she returned a minute later, her stroller was gone.

The odds that the person who stole a stroller would have stolen a stroller with a baby in it are extremely low. A stroller is a lightweight item that can be quickly sold for drug money, and cheap enough that police won't bother to track it down. Stealing a baby = massive manhunt + high likelihood of a lifetime in prison, with the reward being a human child that needs constant care and attention.

She's not the one ignoring reality.
There are reasons not to leave a baby alone. But the hysteria over kidnapping here is just absurd. Amother-Cyan is right that it's incredibly rare that a person would want to steal a baby at all, let alone actually try to steal a random stranger's baby in broad daylight.
You put your baby in more danger every time you cross the street.
Again, not saying people should leave their babies alone. But the main problem with it is the chance of the baby waking up alone, in a strange place, and being afraid - not the near-zero chance that an insane child-snatcher will pass by at exactly that moment.

Neglectful and irresponsible nonetheless.

You really can't talk for everyone. I did. Many times. As I am sure others have as well, if they are normal human beings who make mistakes.
