Were you ever left in a public place by your parents by accident?

The first time I was probably around 5 years old in Chicago visiting museums with my parents. The memory is a little fuzzy, but I remember being alone for half an hour or so and scared as hell as I roamed the streets of Chicago.

The second time was around 10 at a birthday party at a place like Chucky Cheese. The party was over, but nobody told me, and when I came out of the ball pit area, everyone was gone. Also, to add insult to injury, the place was about to close. The douchebag at the front desk almost wouldn't let me use the phone b/c it was a long distance call to call my parents to come get me. 30 minutes later, my parents show up at the same time as the other parents, who were across the street at Safeway getting some candy. My parents were UBER-pissed.

So, let's hear your stories of abandonment!
 
My family had planned this vacation to Paris for Christmas.
When I awoke on the day of departure - everybody had left!
"Mom? Dad?....Buzz?"
Nope, everyone was gone! It was awesome - I got to eat everything I wanted and watch all the shows that I liked.
I even went shopping by myself. The old guy across the street was a bit creepy but I didn't care!
Then one night while I was happily enjoying my cheese pizza, I saw these two low lives creeping around the house.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
 
My parents left me at an ice cream place. My dad was the coach of my brother's baseball team, and he always took the whole team there for ice cream when they won. There was a creek running through the property, and we'd always play near the creek. My parents were in separate cars, and when my mom left she assumed my dad would bring me home. When my dad was ready to leave he couldn't find me, so he assumed my mom had taken me home.

And that's when you moved into a van down by the river?

That was when the bad man touched me.
 
Not really abandoned. Was probably about 5-7 when we went downtown and I sort of confused another couple dressed like my parents for my parents. So I followed them minding my own business. After about 30 minutes I started to wonder why they are not talking to me so I tugged on the guys pants. Ooops... By then it was too late to look for my parents, and we didn't have cell phones back then, so I did the only thing I could do and went home to sit under the door in our apartment complex (didn't have the keys either). About 15 minutes later I see my dad coming up seriously pissed off. I tried to explain him I did the only reasonable thing to do and he shouldn't be so upset, but he wouldn't listen to me :/

He should have been impressed that you were able to find your way home.
