What I found most interesting at a City Council meeting addressing vagrant shopping carts is that they had received no negative comments from retailers who were told they would be expected to pay a fee (fine) if their shopping carts were recovered by the City or else be required to place loss prevention mechanisms in place: security guards or locking wheels on carts. I agree that we have a problem, but why should of the owner of the shopping cart be fined when they don't take prescribed measures to prevents its "repurposing"? Shopping carts are expensive, and I think most store owners are doing what they consider necessary and cost-effective to retain them.
