And I think most people do the same. At minimum take some pictures, cause you never know.

With all that said, I feel there are very few cart accessible locations in TV that present any real threat to cart theft. I know it happens, but with 45,000 carts in use (and that is conservative) even one theft a day is almost negligible.

Our two carts cost us a lot more than we paid to build our first new home so we made sure we have adequate/proper cart insurance coverage. I think most cart owners have done the same.

Thank you Don for you service to use fellow villages. I also keep eye out for illegal activity.
