You see them everywhere. Left in parking lots. Dumped over the side of a hill. Sometimes they are just plain sitting on the street rusting away after having been taken without the owner’s permission. What is being done to stop this injustice, you ask? Read on and you’ll see what measures are being taken.

The name of the site is The Center for the Prevention of Shopping Cart Abuse. This is an organization dedicated to preventing the spread of Shopping Cart abuse. They work on the local, the national, the international level, and beyond to fight abusers who are trying to undermine these fundamental pillars of society. This site is here to help visitors understand this unspoken threat, to offer counsel to those who cause harm to carts, and to sing the praises of the silver chariot of the parking lot.

Some of the stories that you read will make your blood boil. There are extensive records of the abusers, and pictures that document this abuse. You can spread the joy these carts bring by sending someone a shopping cart postcard to a friend (or an abuser, if you know one). There is also information on a 12 step program that can help abusers mend their ways.

This is an interesting site - one that reaches many levels. I’ll let you decide which level you want it to be on. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site a 7.5.
