Shopping carts can be necessary when shopping, but in some neighborhoods, they’re just a nuisance.
Rachiel Durant has been living in Chillum’s Avondale area for more than 30 years, and she says she’s constantly seeing shopping carts left abandoned in her community. Whenever she tries to get rid of them, no one takes responsibility.
“It brings down the property value, number one because it’s an eye sore,” she says. “Sometimes it’s hard to identify which store it is because they don’t have their name on the actual shopping cart, but I’ve called them in and asked them to pick them up, and a lot of times they don’t, so you just call and call!”
On Thursday, Councilmember Wanika Fisher put forward a piece of legislation that would require stores to set up anti-theft mechanisms on their shopping carts by the end of next May. Carts will also need to have their store’s information on them so they can be identified.
Stores could be fined up to $2,000 a day if they violate the law.
A Prince Georges County politician, (she means it dammit!!!) is tackling serious problem #1 in the County at the core!!!! Crime? No...Poverty?? no.. declining graduations? NOOOOOO! Hot Rodders blocking traffic for meet ups??? NO...
Shopping carts!!!!!!! Yes, those abandoned shopping carts! Giant, Safeway, WalMart, Warehouse liquors, J.C. Penney's, she's got yo numbah dudes!!!!

Look, they are homeless and need to tote their priceless possessions. HOW DARE you stop them. Hey YO Policees YOU cannot ask them to take them back you privileged racists!!!
