Disappearance of Shopping Carts Alarms Markets (Continued from Page 1) are pushed away by customers who under-estimate the cost of the carts and over-estimate the merchant's profit on their business. "These baskets cost us $32 each; that's equal to our net profit on the food for two large families for a year," claimed one official. "Cart-napping is misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment," he continued. "but we don't want to jail our customers. We'd rather appeal to their sense of honesty and fair play." "What's more, every one of our customers helps pay for the loss in higher prices. I would cut prices tomorrow on dozens of items if I could be sure no more of my carts would get 'lost'." Find Various Uses Where do the carts go? California Food and Drug Special Agents association members, who act as store detectives for their various companies, report: "Some are picked up off the street and 'fenced' to unwary or unethical merchants. Some hold junk in garages. "Some are used as laundry carts until they rust up a batch of clothes and then wind up in the trash. Some are torn apart by the kids. Even the carts that come back are costly as they are often damaged. And, for every cart that's in somebody's back yard, picked up off the street and 'fenced' to unwary or unethical merchants. Some hold junk in garages. "Some are used as laundry carts until they rust up a batch of clothes and then wind up in the trash. Some are torn apart by the kids. Even the carts that come back are costly as they are often damaged. And, for every cart that's in somebody's back yard, the store has to buy an extra one to keep in the store." "Passing Losses On, Too" Some California cities have passed special ordinances to control what one citizen called, "the public nuisance, the traffic hazard, the disgrace to the moral character of our city that abandoned shopping carts represent." Market officials emphasized that customers pay for the lost carts. "You've heard of passing the savings on to the customer— well, we're passing the losses on, too!" cracked one.
