    Extra wagon... All I was thinking when I posted this was just some things you could buy a few extra inexpensively that you could barter. More of an idea list but it seems to have morphed into another 'must buy list' any who it's fun and I see I missed some very basic things. *blushes with embarrassment *

    The shopping cart idea is brilliant, a garden you can move from morning sun to afternoon shade. Where I live the afternoon sun can be brutal in the middle of the summer. Bravo Mindgrinder.

    Hate to burst your bubble, but shopping carts are private property belonging to the store involved. Each one cost the store more than $300. EACH. (And that was 20 years ago) And they will prosecute if you are caught with their property. One of the jobs I had while living in Californication, was driving around, picking up loose shopping carts and returning them. There is a bounty for each one returned. Many of the new carts have a locking wheel brake to lock up the cart if it ventures beyond the parking lot. Once locked, it has to be dragged back to the clerk to be unlocked. You are committing a crime by taking them off the property, and it is a separate count for each cart.
    Spend a few of your own bucks, and buy a landscape wagon. Serves the same purpose, it's your damn property, and you are not a thief.

    I am going to make it my lifes mission to steal grocery carts. I will bring down all the major grocery chains by stealing their carts. I will then control the world thru my monopoly of grocery carts. With my fleet of grocery carts I will form an army of homeless people to do my bidding and take over the world using the smell of the unwashed as my primary weapon. Fear me and my army of smelly minions.

    I will not need a gun because of my army of smelly minions. I will steal gunkids cart too and have my massive attack rabbits take him out. Badges, we don't need no stinking badges, we control the worlds grocery carts. [reddevil]

    Just be aware that you actions have consequences, and it is best to know what they are.

    The only shopping cart I have was pulled out of the ditch in front of my house...
    Homeless people in the woods at the end of the road no doubt.
    Aint my job to police corporate property...they should pay me for it littering on the edge of my property if they want it back.

    Removing garbage from the ditch in front of my farm is "receiving stolen property"?
    Smarten up.

    It is a very simple concept. It ain't yours, you take it....that is theft.
