neighbors ! - 5/10/2008 9:07:37 AM

Status: offline 		greetings to everyone

I am really trying hard to understand my neighbors.
I live in a very small community, the local market is just a few blocks away.
My neighbor's have about 10 people living in their home. Daily the mom walks to the market, and walks back home, pushing the cart from the market. After unloading the cart she then parks it in between our homes.  Somedays there are as many as three ( lovely orange ) carts out there. Why can't she push the damn cart back to the market when she returns?
Not only do these carts make my street look trashy, but daily the local kids play with these carts pushing each other around, then leaving the carts lay where they may. I have tried to explain this to my neighbor, sadly.. as I write there are two carts in front of my home. 
I am almost to the point of being so brazzen as to push them up into her yard.
any help, or advise will be appreciated.

      Make yourself a pest to the store manager as well.

       God, I hate living next door to trash.

I agree and if that fails to work stage a fake injury by tripping over one of these carts and report it to the local newspaper and claim a billion squid compensation from the supermarket. Then buy her house out from under her and force her to live in a kennel naked where she is repeatedly hosed down with icy cold water.

Is that supposed to be a punishment?  More like a fantasy to me.

Call the store and let them know. Have them come and pick up the carts. There are 10 of them and i imagine just you? You don't know what these people are capable of and what they could possibly be involved in...just my two cents...

i agree also. i think if you opened a dialog with the store manager they would be very willing to help you.
where i live taking those carts = theft
( i dont see how having 10 people living in the house has anything to do with the mom bringing carts home)

Status: offline 		Greetings to All,

Thank you  for the replies.  I have called the store many times.  The store tells me, Yes we are aware of the problem, and they do send out a truck once in a while to retrieve the carts back. The issues is my still the carts are here daily.  The store has a very visual sign saying " Removal of these carts from the property is prohibited by law", Yet the store does nothing aswell.   The store is very aware that the carts are on the street. I have tried to talk to the mom, but she does not speak english. So I have made my feelings known to the kids who are over 18 and speak english, their reply is, I will tell my mom. ugh. I feel like a wheel on an automobile ..  I just go round and round.. 
my many thanks for all the advise.

domah, it doesn't but most cities and towns have occupancy laws.
Usually two people to each bedroom as a general rule.

Also, examine the carts closely, maybe you can scrap them. Don't get caught, that would be conversion, but you have the advantage that they came unsolicited and therefore are your's.

After the store loses twenty of them, your neighbor will probably be in jail. Money talks. Those things cost money.

If you can cut the bases off of them with the wheels I would probably buy them for quite a bit more than scrap price.

In other words, fight fire with money.

Status: offline 		Cart road calming policy such as speed humps could also be effective policy in this delicate area. Ever tried to get a cart over one of them speed humps they have in Tesco car parks fucking annoying those things and bound to break any glass you have in the cart.
