Mandy Moore Laments Son's Stroller Being Stolen Outside Her L.A. Home

Mandy Moore finds herself at the mercy of a thief!

Known for her compassionate nature, the singer's recent experience with the harsh reality of life's darker side shocked her into going on social media to express her deep disappointment in humanity.

As if adjusting to the whirlwind of motherhood was not challenging enough, the "Candy" singer was left upset when her precious son's stroller vanished without a trace. Luckily for the actress, her home security cameras captured the alleged thief in action.

Refusing to hold back her disappointment and frustration, Moore took to her Instagram story to share a screenshot of the incriminating video with the caption, "People are the worst."

The footage showed the package left unattended against a white gate while a suspicious figure in blue lingered in the nearby bushes. Below the snap, she continued:

"I was wondering where the @cybex_usa stroller I ordered for Ozzie went. I was going back and forth with customer service and @fedex, and I swore to them it wasn't delivered, and then I found this video (which won't load here for some reason)."

The "This is Us" star called out the audacity of the alleged thief, stating angrily, "This dude watched for an hour while the box sat outside and then climbed a side of a hill to snag them."

The harrowing event has no doubt put a strain on the 39-year-old and her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, who are basking in the joys of parenthood as they watch their family expand.

The couple, who tied the knot in an intimate backyard ceremony in 2018, welcomed their first bundle of joy, August "Gus" Harrison, in February 2021. Continuing their journey as doting parents, they celebrated the arrival of their second son, Oscar "Ozzie" Bennett Goldsmith, in October 2022. 

Before announcing the joyous news of expecting their second child, the "In Real Life" singer had previously shared her desire to experience pregnancy again during an episode of the "Informed Pregnancy Podcast" with Dr. Elliot Berlin. In a heartfelt revelation, Moore stated:

"I've said to my husband so many times — and really anyone that has come by that will listen — I'm like, 'I can't wait to do it again.' As harrowing as the journey was, I miss it."

Despite her challenges, the "I Wanna Be With You" artist looked back with immense affection, recognizing that it brought her beloved son Gus into her life. In a candid moment of honesty, the "Chasing Liberty" star took to Instagram in January 2023 to share the realities of parenting children under the age of two.

The "Saved!" actress acknowledged that it was "a lot" alongside a photo of herself breastfeeding her firstborn. 

Although the "Racing Stripes" actress prefers to keep details of her personal life private, she could not help but go public when her trust was violated. Despite staying busy, Moore took time off her busy schedule to call out a former friend — who she kept anonymous — via her Instagram story. 

Alongside a photo of herself on set, pumping milk, she began the lengthy message, "At work. Dealing with some upsetting personal betrayal from a new person in my life and trying to parse through what to learn from it." 

Continuing her cryptic post, the "Dr. Dolittle 2" voice actress, who was still struggling with the disloyalty, wondered, "Don't trust people? Don't be too generous. I want to let it go, but this was someone intimately involved in my life for a short period." 

In conclusion, she noted, "Man, some people let you down. The selfishness, lack of respect, and entitlement are WILD." 

In a follow-up post, over a selfie of herself, still pumping, Moore addressed the situation, writing, "Deep breath. So grateful for my family and babies and this life. I won't let anyone ROB that joy from me. Onward and upward, right?" 

Deciding to get over it, the "Scrubs" guest star shared one last photo, this time having completed her pumping session and dressed to resume work. Flashing the peace sign at the camera, she noted, "Let them know and let it go," adding, "Also, thanks to @tropicalijaye for that perfect nugget."
