Such weird responses.
I don't know what I'd do. If I could assume that the car owner is in a rather small building (like a corner shop) I'd go in there and ask around and tell them to take it with them or I'd break their window, otherwise I'd probably inform police and perhaps try to break the window.
Luckily I've never been one for rules and order.

My cynic side says: if that baby is trapped in a car it is probably the offspring of an idiot parent so I should let it die to keep idiots from breeding and then go kill the parents.
What I would actually do is call 911. Or if that didn't work. Expertly disable all security cameras, wait till no ones looking/and possibly kill any hobos that won't stop staring at you, break in, take baby, raise it to be a smart person.

I'd call 911. If breaking the window is indeed required and appropriate in such a situation, then they would direct me to do so and I'd do it. This way I can direct the blame at them, if the owner comes back pissed at me. >_>
Being a "hero" isn't fun. Got involved in some crap for some random dumb girl once. I should have just walked away. D8

I'd probably feel panicky. I've never seen someone actually leave their baby in a car before. I'd also be worried about whether or not someone nearby would be thinking that I'm breaking in to steal things instead. x.e

Well, if the parents were stupid enough to leave their baby in the car, maybe it wasn't meant to live.
Survival of the fittest?
You're in a deadly car accident and someone preforms CPR to keep you alive.
But oh wait, they shouldn't have because you weren't meant to live.

A lack of common sense isn't genetic ):
Children learn from the mistakes their parents make, irresponsible parents that leave their baby in the car all by their self would probably get that baby taken away and given another chance.
But I like your actual side

i dont look around in peoples cars so i would never notice it, unless it was crying and wouldnt shut up. also depends if they are in like a wal-mart or a little convenience store. wal-mart they will be in there a while, convenience store they will be in there a few seconds.

this too
there was a story in the paper a few weeks ago where a baby was found dead in a car outside of a costco
it died because of the heat
babies don't cry for the sake of it, they cry because something is wrong
whether they're hungry, need to be changed, or are too hot.

1. Call 911
2. Smash the windows open
3. Bring baby out
It only takes minutes before a car becomes an oven in a summer day, even if its not very hot out.
This.
Quite honestly some of the responses of "maybe it was meant to die" are fxcking sickening and you should honestly re-evaluate your thinking processes. I can understand if you don't SEE anyone in the car but if you see and do nothing, then in my opinion you don't deserve to have a life either. This is a helpless baby we're talking about, not some full grown man capable of getting out of the car.
