Target in my area has lost half of their shopping carts (worth $600) and have none of their shopper hand baskets left. Theft is rampant and they do not bother prosecuting the thieves for thefts under $750, which is a misdemeanor. Those under $750 items can add up, which is putting stores like Target in trouble.
We have an Ollie’s here that still uses the old KMART shopping carts with the KMART logo on them.

So one could go into a store and steal that amount of food without fear of being prosecuted. You would need several carts to hold food worth that much. Imagine walking out of the store with that many carts. Steaks all around!
