In no way was i saying that it was right for the people that took them to have them in the first place, Scott. I was only saying that, while i do consider myself a decent person, i would not spend the gas money driving around and returning stolen grocery carts for free. I was only asking about the ones that seem to be stolen and discarded. I don't see any Wal-Mart employees driving around picking up their carts and i do know how much they cost having worked in Grocery all through high school. It just seems to me that around the lower class areas of town there are loads of them! If i were paid by Wal-Mart to drive around and collect them then i would. If i got paid for taking them to the scrap yard i would do that as well.
