>ROME, Italy (Reuters) -- A Macedonian man left his wife at an Italian service station and only realized he had driven off without her six hours later, news agency Ansa said.<
><
>The couple, who were travelling with their 4-year-old daughter, pulled over for petrol in the coastal city of Pesaro as they were heading back to their home to Germany.<
><
>After filling the tank, the husband drove away -- without noticing that his 30-year-old wife, originally from Georgia, had got out of the car to go to the toilet.<
><
>The woman, who had no money or documents with her, contacted the police who eventually traced her husband to Milan, some 340 km (210 miles) north of Pesaro, Ansa said.<
><
>The husband told police he had not missed his wife because she always sat in the back of the car with their daughter. <

No, I bet he really forgot. Some people are just completely oblivious morons is all. <

If Frog is right, then I wonder why the 4 year old didn't say anything. I mean people underestimate little kids. A 4 year old isn't stupid. I used to baby sit and the 3 year old who was turning 4 in about a month always asked where her mommy was. So it could lean to either or of your behalfs. <

Was the kid still in the car? I wonder if maybe he's also a useless father and got used to tuning out the sound of his own kid's voice. <

Maybe it was one of those miracle and the kid actually didn't wake up from a nap. "Dont' try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring, besides that, they're facist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic." - Crash Davis in Bull Durham <

Goodness! No matter how the situation is view-<

I think he really wanted to get rid of her and he was very suave about it. <

No really the smoothest of approaches<
