Homelessness in the US. They steal carts to carry their stuff around, or to collect trash aluminum cans to earn money, etc. In certain areas, it's pretty common and probably crosses the cost:benefit line for stores.

Yeah a cart costs a couple of hundred dollars for the store to replace, they don't want to lose too many of them.
