No Gate = Poor

Do you live near a bus stop? Probably a poor person pushing their groceries to the bus stop and leaving the cart there when they get on.

Uh there’s one not too far, but we live deep in the neighborhood so they wouldn’t walk all the way to our house if that’s what they were doing

May be a neighbor who doesn't drive. If so, pretty shitty.

But that's all I can think of other than a nearby homeless camp (they usually take the cart into the woods) or bus stop.

I'll do you one better, I rented my house out several years ago, to a PhD math student at U of MT. He dropped out, and I quickly found out he was a methhead, with a probation officer.

His father, a nerdy prof himself, had vouched for him and cosigned the lease.

On Superbowl Sunday, my property manager called to tell me there was a homeless man (not the tenant) sleeping on my front porch and Albertson's carts in my front yard.

I later discovered my tenant had this email address: methematician@gmail.com

I actually met his poor parents at the airport after they'd cut short their Amsterdam trip to come check on their mathematician because he'd disappeared, shortly after I evicted his arse. Poor folks. I hugged and consoled the crying elderly mother.

Don't be a landlord.

Are you sure they aren't dropping off your daughter?

Could it be a buddy pulling a prank? That would be pretty classic.

I can’t stop watching her spin that cart.

They might have the sensors in them that lock them up. It must kick in by your house.
