One time Lord Caitanya was walking outside when two thieves saw Him. They said to each other, 
“Look, it’s just a child, a little toddler, and He’s got gold ornaments. They must be worth thousands of Rupees, He must be rich. Let’s go.”
They spoke to Nimāi, “We are your uncles and we have come to give you sweetmeats—sandesh, rasagullas.” Nimāi said, “Oh I like sweets.” The thieves replied, “So come with us, we’ll take you to the sweet shop.”
So the two men took Nimai on their shoulders and walked off. 
Little baby Gaurāṅga was happy, silently looking around. They were thinking, “Money is the honey! We are going to be rich! We’ll take this child then hide and steal His gold.” They went all through the town. At that time Navadvīpa was a very busy town, maybe a million people or so, it was very busy, the biggest city in Eastern India. So away from the neighborhood, they entered a big street, and they were taking Nimāi on their shoulders and He was enjoying the ride as they were going around and heading towards their hideout outside of the town. Then Nimāi said, “Where are my sweets? You said you were going to get me sweets.” Then they saw the sweet shop, so they stopped and bought Him some sandesh, rasagullas, chamcham—various sweets. As He was eating sweets, they said, “We’ll take you home,” but they were thinking to take Him to their hideout.
They walked on, and in their mind they saw the hideout, they thought, “Here we’ll steal ornaments from the child,” so they put Lord Caitanya down, but as soon as Lord Caitanya was put down, the whole vision changed.
They saw that in reality they were at His house; they were right in front of Nimāi’s house. Jagannātha Miśra and Śacīmata had heard that some strangers had walked off with their child. You can imagine what they were feeling—they were looking everywhere, and the whole neighbourhood was running around looking.
Then little Lord Caitanya ran to his father, who cried out, 
“Oh Nimāi, Nimāi, we were so worried about you!” Jagannātha Misra was so happy to see Nimāi again that he wanted to reward the nice gentlemen who returned his child. He thought that they must have found Him roaming around. But the thieves were afraid, because they were guilty and their hearts were not clean, they thought, “We are going to be captured, we are going to be caught, the king’s men will hang us or something.” So they ran away as fast as they could.
Jagannātha Miśra was looking, thinking, “What is wrong with them, why are they running? Why are they running away?” He didn’t know that they had stolen the child to take His ornaments. He thought they were some nice men who had brought his son back. 
The thieves hid in an orchard and looked back, but nobody was following them. “O Candi, O devi, today you have saved us. You have saved us from certain capture.” Thieves worship Candi, who is one form of Durga.
After this, Jagannātha Miśra became more concerned about how to ensure his son would grow up properly, and he would be careful about guiding his little boy. Every day little Lord Nimāi was having fun with so many people. He was playing like a baby but actually He was in control of the whole scene—making various dramatic situations to enjoy. In this way Lord Caitanya was performing His blissful childhood pastimes.
