Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Shopping Cart Abuse: Just Stop With It Already
Posted 09-02-2017 at 08:40 PM by case44
You see the following items in places they really aren't supposed to be. Have you ever driven around your town and happen to see a shopping cart..................five blocks from the grocery store or department store or superstore where it would normally be?
I've talked in the past about how our society has just lost it, having lost its ways, its values, its integrity. Yeah, and yet, in this case here, the culprits are usually teenagers with nothing better to do. Shopping carts continue to be taken from the parking lots of these stores and, for whatever reason, taken to a remote area of some sort and being left there. You would think that, with surveillance cameras, the perpetrators would get themselves caught. Maybe that's not enough. While I am against big government, I wouldn't exactly mind seeing innovative solutions since, after all, crimes are being committed in the form of shopping cart abuse.
Here's a solution: Put a sensor on the cart. Yeah. There's an idea. Put in place a sensor that, when the shopping cart leaves the parking lot area, the sensor would then set off an alarm inside the store that it came out of, and a call would instantly be made to police. Pretty clever, huh??
Well, why not? Said perpetrator couldn't get far now, could he?
Parents, please know what your kids are doing and enforce some boundaries. Secondly, store managers, be cognizant of your cart inventory and be vigilant if anything suspicious happens. And keep your shopping carts out of trouble!
