A 14-year-old boy spent days living inside two makeshift compounds, hidden in the back of a Texas Walmart’s baby stroller section, and managed to remain unknown to both customers and employees for a period of four days.

According to local news station CBS DFW the young man cleared two spaces behind the store’s baby aisle, stocking it with juice, food, bedding and a goldfish, for company of course.

Multiple changes of cloths were also found so security wouldn’t pick up that the boy was living in the store. He even stole diapers and frequently used them so he wouldn’t have to go to the bathroom.

The boy’s slowly growing collection of trash finally lead to him being caught. Before moving into the store’s baby aisle, he had been living with his aunt.

It’s unclear why the boy decided to move to Walmart or why he felt the store was a better choice than Target.

Walmart has said that it has no plans to press charges.
