The first time I saw it happen, I followed the thief to his car and took cell phone pictures of him, his car and his license plate. I offered them to the store manager and he said they did not want them.

I have seen several people walk out of the local Walmart with shopping carts full of merchandise. The employees ask them to stop, but are prohibited from doing anything else to stop them. Word has gotten out that it is a safe place to shoplift.

I asked my local Giant (supermarket) manager as to why there were all of a sudden new shopping carts when after three months there were hardly any.

He explained to me that people take them home w/ them to the apartments nearby, and they have to collect them every few months, whenever the apartment complexes collect them. I asked why they don't block them from leaving the store area, and he replied, "community goodwill."

Great, I replied, but then I have to come into your store and not find a cart -- and I'm guessing I spend a lot more they those people. Then I asked him how much the carts cost: $300 / ea.

Just more PC bullshit costing me and you money.
