One is provided temporarily for free to customer's use within the store. The other is stolen.

And that isn't even getting into the safety and legal issues of a shopping cart out on the streets.

Where at? The grocery store's garage sale??
He could buy it at the same place grocery stores get theirs.

I'd say it can be considered a vehicle just like a bicycle. You could jump inside it and ride it on wheels, so legally it is. How many people with shopping carts on the streets actually obey the traffic laws (stop signs, stop lights, not crossing the yellow lines, minimum and maximum save speeds, etc)? None.

You could say the same thing about strollers.

Its only called a shopping cart because that's its main purpose. Its really a wheelbarrow if you think about it.

I hate people who take shopping carts and then just leave them on the sidewalk after they are done with them. I just saw like 7 shopping carts from pathmark on the sidewalk close to a senior housing community just sitting there and pathmark is like 4 blocks away.
