I have had a strange relationship with shopping carriages nearly my whole life. It started as a kid stealing carts. The strangest thing to occur in those days was my venture up into a tree with a stripped carriage. The frame was cut from the basket. Ropes were tied to the four corners of the cart and attached to a pulley. Another rope was strung up between two trees. You can take it from there. I wound up in the hospital with a sprained back, broken thumb, and stitches in my forhead. As an adult I took a job at a company called Carriage Trade Service Co. and then at Cart recovery. The first job was a technician repairing damaged carraiges. The second was recovering carts that made it out into neighborhoods. I can remember doing a repair job at a store that just had carraiges removed from a river near by. Nasty! Some of these carraiges had condoms hanging from them. The carraiges were strategicly placed in the river by homeless people. The carts were placed in such a way that pallets could be placed upon them then plywood on top of that. This was done in such a way that you could roll a carriage across the river to reach the other side. This cut out many blocks of walking. I love this!
