We realize times are tough, but you should not trade your baby for a used Dodge Intrepid. From Fox Colorado:

Police Sergeant Brett Wilson says the department was notified of the alleged baby swap yesterday morning. Within hours, they had mother Nicole Uribe behind bars and the baby safely placed with a foster home.

Wilson says Uribe traded her son to 47-year-old Jose-Juan Lerma and his 27-year-old wife, Irene, for a used Dodge Intrepid.

We know we don’t recommend Payday lenders, but uh, they are better than baby selling. There’s a reason Carmax doesn’t accept toddlers.—MEGHANN MARCO
