If we have a thread for this type of attack, Mods can shunt it.
I'm sure I've read on'ere about folklore around child car seats dumped in lay-bys but I can't find it now.
Can remember mentioning that I'd seen child seats left next to a box that had held a similar item, and inferring that a new seat had been bought and the old one and the packaging from the new one dumped together.
In this case though the seat seems to have been left as bait. Seems unlikely but the police are seriously considering it.

Woman raped in Berkshire layby after stopping for child seat
A driver was raped after she stopped to check if a child was safe after spotting an empty car seat in a layby, police have said.
Thames Valley police said the woman was raped in a layby on the A4 in Thatcham, Berkshire, opposite the junction with Cox’s Lane, in an attack late on 16 August.
The force, whose officers were called at around midnight, said it is now investigating whether the empty car seat was used to the lure the victim who had been driving on the A4 before she was attacked.
