baltimore. we are here in the 400 block of cane street. the child as i mentioned was found just about ten minutes away. interestingly, someone found the child sitting on a sidewalk in the car seat. so police are saying that the person who stole this car had, you know, the time to take this baby out of the vehicle, put it on the sidewalk. that is when someone spotted the child and decided to call 911. the child's name is leo garcia lopez. he is 11 months old. unloading groceries, taking groceries inside of her home when she left the vehicle running. that's when the witnesses say they saw a young black teenager walking down the street. he simply hopped in the vehicle and he drove off. listen in to what the baltimore city police had to say. >> who immediately began the process for an amber alert. that is what got the information out quickly to everyone. that is what allowed us to recover this child safely and as quickly as we did without
4:25 pm
karen: now they did find the child safe, as you mentioned, but they are still looking for this vehicle. a white s.u.v. suzuki with maryland license plate. 42688c4. a ravens bumper sticker. and tinted windows. anyone with information is asked to call 911. reporting live, karen campbell, wjla news. >> a sigh of relief for the mom that the child is okay. next for us at "abc7 news at 40" laws. justin timberlake's picture goes viral and gets him in trouble. so where is this legal? we'll let you know next. jonathan: still ahead for us at 4:30, more questions than answers as residents of a condo complex are without power for a second day. forced to move out.

[snoring.] take the roar out of snore. yet another innovation only at a sleep number store. alison: justin timberlake set off a fire storm with this. a selfie he took at a polling place in tennessee. jonathan: he could be facing charges and time in jail but apparently he won't face charges but it's against the law in that state to take video or pictures at polling places. michelle: he already took down the post. but did you know every state is different in terms of where it's legal and where it's not? lindsey mastis has been monitoring ballot selfies for
4:29 pm
lindsey: ballot selfie patrol. a lot of people are wanting to show they voted it's early. it's very popular with early voters now. take a look at some of the pictures. people are taking these in their own homes for example. what is really interesting is they are doing this before they send it in the mail or drop the ballots off. i love this guy over here. mark. he was able to take a selfie in his robe. you can't do that at a polling place. so what they are doing is posting selfies wearing the "i voted" stickers and taking pictures of the voting stickers themselves. we have a map on the website wjla.com. so you can figure out whether the ballot selfies are legal where you will be voting. by the way, this may not be a ballot selfie but it is legal in washington, d.c. unlike president obama, most of us do not have professional photographers documenting our every move.
