I told you car seats are overrated!

They’re just golden opportunities for cart-jackers!

On the bright side, they could have wanted your children. At least you still have them.

What the fuck would they even do with a load of groceries? It's not like there's a black market for loaves of bread.

Someone's never been to Agrabah.

...they would eat it themselves lol

I worked a charity event where they were playing a kind of scavenger hunt in the grocery store and everything was to be donated to the local food bank. Someone took off with one of their carts after they paid and were distracted!

If it's such a common occurrence, sounds like they need to do something about it. Like beef up their security. I doubt they'll reimburse you for what was lost though, even if you show them your receipt and get the exact items. Still, we live in such a sad world. :( At least they didn't get your kids!

Well, now you know you have to put the groceries in your car BEFORE your kids... I think they won't try to steal the cart if the kids are still in it!

They just took off running, full tilt with your cart, didn’t take any time to load a FULL MONTH’S GROCERIES into a car or truck or whatever (where, even if you couldn’t stop them, that would sure take enough time to ID the vehicle in the security tapes), just sprinted off down the road and no one was able to catch them?

Every grocery store I’ve been to in the last 10 years or so has their carts set to trip a car boot type break the second it hits the perimeter of the lot.

Load the food.nobody trying to steal kids more mouths to feed

If nobody's trying to steal kids, what's the AMBER Alert all about? And what really happened to Elizabeth Smart if she wasn't abducted? What about Etan Patz? I assume that was a sick joke by whichever company's milk cartons his face appeared on?

Oh no. I would be devastated if that happened. Seems like the store should do something about that.
