This is the shocking moment a shopper watched a pregnant woman and her young son beg for money before getting into a in a new $35,000 Mercedes Benz and driving away. Melissa Smith, from San Diego, California, had witnessed them panhandling outside Eastlake Village Center every weekend for the past two weeks.

Each time, they would hold a sign reading, 'Please help', and would receive money from dozens of shoppers, like five people in five minutes. But this week, Ms Smith was putting gas into her car when she saw the pair leave their panhandling spot and meet up with the woman's boyfriend - before driving away in a Benz.

"I thought, "Wow, a Mercedes-Benz. It's not even used - it's not old. It's a new Benz," smith said.

In outrage, Ms Smith immediately stopped pumping gas, climbed into her own car and followed the Mercedes down the road. "Here they are counting money, laughing." Astonishingly, Ms Smith watched the car turn into a nearby shopping plaza on Bonita Road, before the pregnant woman got out, grabbed the sign and started begging again.

As shoppers reached into their pockets to help her, Ms Smith started taking more photos of the woman, prompting the beggar to start shouting at her. The Mercedes's license plate number is registered to a woman with an Escondidio apartment complex address, where rent costs around $2,500 a month.
