I have seen many vehicles damaged by shopping carts, including mine.
Best to park uphill and upwind……
I have seen it too and saved mine in a nick of time once. It wasn’t me, I always return it. It’s the normal and mannered thing to do.
Mine too!
Same. Some garbage of a person left one that came a scatching all along my vehicle. Walking pieces of garbage. Probably some lady in pajamas or a grown assed man dressed like a toddler.
I think the term “because they’re lazy assholes” comes immediately to mind.
My local market bought all new heavy plastic carts, easy rolling, and brand new. Ive found and returned the carts from as far as two blocks away.
Most of this is from illegals, barely speaking English, and also another very specific demographic, bussed up to our area.
I’ve long joked with my beloved wife that my ultimate dream retirement job is to be a cart wrangler at a local ALDI’s. Not only do I get healthy exercise, while providing a valuable service, and maybe saving expensive car damage, I get a bonus of $0.25 per cart (a quarter, which used to be almost solid silver) for all the stray carts I wrangle, for the people stupid at math, or stupid at directions.
