Stop Draggin' My Cart Around
The Target store at the Irvine Spectrum mall has an RFID system to fence in their shopping carts. If they stray too far from the store, the wheels lock up. This Business Week article mentions it (scroll down to the "Invisible Detectives" section). http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_3… The purpose is to deter thefts of merchandise (people loading up the carts and then taking off), but a system like this could help with the theft of the cart itself. Perhaps Mr. DeMaio could work with some of the local stores on implementing a system like this.— April 3, 2009 5:03 p.m.
