People who take shopping trolleys home from shopping.

There’s one in my back yard. I found it i the back lane and decided it would be better employed pushing the kids up and down the street in.
 
The galleries is rife for it. You see people walking about Sainsbury’s with Asda trolleys and vice versa
I don't know if it's still as bad, but the whole of Washington used to be rife. People would take their shopping home in trolleys then just dump them anywhere. There was a gadgie who used to drive around the town in a 4x4 with a big trailer collecting dumped trolleys. I assume the two supermarkets paid him for the service.

It’s all through an app these days, take a photo on the TrolleyWise app it and it’s knows the location, well it’s meant to but I’d question the accuracy as ones I’ve logged in my street that were there a while, but have been tagged in the street the other side of the main road, and they collect it within a few days. Does sort of encourage people to take them if they know they will have it collected. I don’t begrudge anyone saving a fiver or a tenner on a taxi but at least spend the 10 minutes walking straight back with the trolley rather than just dumped round Oxclose Albany Glebe etc.
 
Another daft thing I did a few years back sticking my Cousin in a shopping trolley after coming out of the pub and pushing him down a hill whilst he remained in it.
Stupidly it kept going and got to a fair speed until it flipped upside down hitting the kerb.
To this day he walked away with a few bruises, could have been worse.
 
There was one in the backlane of Leighton street a few weeks back. I took it home and used it to fill the skip with the concrete blocks from my newly demolished garage.
Bonus was the £1 coin was still in it.

Unless this guy is really taking things to a new level and is going to drive them miles before ramdomly dumping them.
