Three questions:
1) When is the last time in Hawaii or on Big Island you heard of a child kidnapped from a car in a parking lot?
2) The last time a very young child left in a car drove off and crashed into something?
3) Died from breathing fumez in an idling vehicle?
EightFingers, I agree leaving a small child alone in a locked car is questionable behavior by the parent (assuming it was the parent), but considering there's a low probability that anything might go seriously wrong, I think you did the right thing by walking away.
Here's what I would do if I ever saw this occur again. I'd stand nearby and I'd watch the car. If anything untoward occurred I'd step in and call 911. If the parent returns, I'll go on my way and not say a thing. Because guaranteed, questioning someone's parenting, to their face, is a sure fire way you can create some serious cradhed-fumez in a big box parking lot.
