Employees at a 24-hour Walmart in Texas were shocked to find a teenage boy who apparently called the store home for four days without being noticed.
The 14-year-old built two campsites inside the store using boxes of strollers and stacks of paper towels and toilet paper, MyFoxNY.com reported.
Police said the unidentified teen made a hole in a wall of a drink aisle to take items without being noticed and used diapers to avoid having to use the restroom.
A trail of garbage reportedly led employees to the teen.
“You never expect that you’re at Walmart, and someone has been living there for four days that’s crazy,” Myrna Aguilar, a store customer told CBS DFW.
Child Protective Services said the boy, who lives with relatives, was visiting other family members when he disappeared.
Police released the boy to his relatives and said there’s no indication Walmart plans to file charges.
