I live in an apartment complex with around 100 units. The trash pickup is from dumpsters in the parking lot, and people sometimes leave items that are too heavy to lift next to the dumpsters. I threw away some trash and went to the gas station a couple of blocks away, then came right back. Took maybe 15 minutes.
The path to my parking spot takes me past one of the dumpsters, and as I passed I saw someone had left a shopping cart next to it. It wasn't there when I dropped off my trash. The cart wasn't even from a grocery store, it was from a gift shop about four blocks away. Some asshole used it to wheel their stuff back home, then was too lazy to take it back to the store. So they left it to get picked up by the trash company.
I called the store and they said they would send someone over to get it. I just want to slap whoever did it. Those carts are not cheap, and the cost for replacing them gets passed on to the customers.
