‘Homeless’ people who can’t produce a receipt for their shopping carts should be arrested

A singe buggy costs around $200.
I would arrest them and put their belongings in a dumpster.

I read somewhere that some municipalities are fining/charging stores for buggies found off their lots.
edit... here's an AI overview of the practice

Fining stores for stolen shopping carts: laws and consequences
Fining stores for stolen shopping carts is a growing trend in municipalities across the US as a way to combat the nuisance of abandoned carts.
These fines are levied on retailers, often in conjunction with mandates to implement theft prevention measures like wheel locks or GPS tracking systems.
The logic behind such measures is that retailers, who benefit from providing shopping carts, should bear some responsibility for their proper containment and retrieval.

$200 is BS. I get my carts from Aldi and they are a $.25.

How do you know they are homeless? They might have a nice shed to go back to at night.

I learned from the video of the Siegen Lane guy the other day.
We need to bend over backwards and take zero chances of offending them.

Homeless have to eat too.

I went into a store in hot springs and all the carts had 8 foot tall pvc poles bolted onto them. I asked what the deal was and they told me it was to keep the carts from fitting through the front door since so many had been stolen.

Curious about the why/how people think.
If you will indulge me, questions about your thinking pls:
1. Locus of control.
- Do you see homelessness as primarily resulting from what the homeless person did and / or did not do in life - they are in control on their homelessness?
- Do you see homelessness coming primarily from the context and situation the homeless person was/is in - they are controlled by.
2. You placed at the center (of this homeless topic) the stealing of shopping carts. Does your lawfulness and compassion ever conflict?

They are too busy rounding up people who are just trying to work

There's a spot off bawell, on balis I think, where there is a pile of dozens and dozens of carts. It's like they take a new one every time they go and just walk it back to their hovel

Many stores have started adding wheels that lock up based on whatever the programming is, i.e. leaves the parking lot or sets off the theft detection system.
Of course, they probably sell wheels at home depot and an industrious hobo could find the tools needed in the store, too.

I'm very confident my schizophrenic brother would be homeless if my parents weren't able to financially support him. He's a good person and has never been arrested, but he is just not capable of making good long-term decisions.

We need to get BRPD to drop them off across the river.

They cost about $400-500 each. No business should be expected to eat that expense.
