I love paying higher prices for hardware and food to compensate for all the $tolen shopping carts.

But David remember we’re not allowed to pick on these people because they’re homeless. You and I, and the rest of residents who pay our bills, rent/mortgage and taxes are supposed to feel sorry for them and look the other way when they literally trash our neighborhoods, steal from local businesses, start fires in these city sanctioned encampments, and run bicycle chop shops out of the encampments. Shame on you for bringing this up.

I caught that with "but". My current level of sympathy is slightly below zero. Cite them for there infractions and give them lots of community service.

you can try calling the Mgr at HD and asking why these carts don't lock - I've done it in the past and will be doing it again

These vagrants always find way around the locking wheels. I live the the Dimond and Corporate Safeway and the local Safeway do nothing about there $tolen carts so I use a online cart retrieval services. The last time they were here they picked up twelve. One of my neighbors just returned three Home Depots carts abandoned here. The closest H D is more than three miles away. This is theft and they should be cited.
