Cash money for shopping carts. What isn't bolted down will be taken especially if it has four wheels.

The Walmart I used to work at had a guy caught on surveillance cameras put two of our brand new motor carts in the bed of his pick up and take off. Got to wonder how much those cost.

Why are they not being ticketed or arrested for grand theft is it about 500 for each one! The police should make them return it to the store parking lot!
