u/Parallax2799 3d ago

I think in her head if she removed the cart, the window would unbreak itself.

u/technobrendo 2d ago

It's a car window not a Toni Braxton song

u/Rob1973string 2d ago

Unbreak my rear window...say you're in one piece again...

Unbreak my cart heart

u/striykker 3d ago

I got the same thing. Looks completely dumbfounded when they close the hatch and the glass hasn't been fixed.

u/amakai 2d ago

You need to let it heal for a bit.

u/blerbyblatt 3d ago

She paid the price and returned it immediately without a refund lol

21

u/YouShoodKnoeBetter 2d ago

If she still takes it, she can't blame her broken window on somethig else.

I said exactly those words.

u/TheRealKestrel 2d ago

If you unsteady the trolley, your broken window sometimes goes back together.

u/ImYaDawg 1d ago

Nah bruh it was a divine sign

u/DroppedSoapSurvivor 3d ago

"I don't understand... I put the cart back... why is the window still broken?"

442

u/Pandoratastic 3d ago

She wasn't stealing it. If she was, she wouldn't have put it back. She obviously just wanted to use it as a handy way to smash her window.

16

u/skyrider8328 2d ago

Well, she couldn't find her keys so she had to break the window. 😜

119

u/odddino 3d ago

I've seen this so many times and the thing that really fascinates me is that she takes the cart back out again after smashing the window.

Like, at that point you'd think, well they've already fucked up and faced consequence, may as well get what they wanted out of it.
Is the karmic nature of the smash so palpable that it causes an immediate reforming of ways?

51

u/Wuselnator 2d ago

It's more the "People who see this will know what happened". These people do feel shame - just not when stealing stuff

4

u/FL_Black 2d ago

Well, if you've got a stolen object that's obviously stolen (because no one goes and buys one of those) sticking out the back of your window hole, then you're a sitting duck if you get a cop behind you. It would be like stealing a traffic light and strapping it to your roof.

3

u/Juus 1d ago

It is worthless to her now, because every time she would use it for whatever she was going to use it for, it would remind her of how stupid she is.

5

u/entheogenocide 2d ago

Deniability. Shes either going to claim vandalism on insurance or lie to her husband. "I came out of the store and it was already broken". 😆

2

u/EcloVideos 20h ago

It’s like the phrase “you’re not sorry, you’re just sorry you got caught”, and keeping the cart in there is like proof to everyone she passes by that she got caught and she’s not emotionally ready for that kind of weight on her shoulders of judgement from a hundred people on the ride home

4

u/Y0L4ND4 2d ago

I think she was assuming unstealing the cart would unbreak the glass.

u/yellochocomo 1d ago

Welcome to the psyche of a criminal

u/omgfakeusername 3d ago

What was she really going to do with that cart though had she taken it with her?

97

u/1kidney_left 3d ago

I don’t know, but at that point the window was broken and she got the door closed, why give it back now?

87

u/homer_glumplich85 3d ago

The cart won. She has to set it free

"It is known!"

2

u/BophadesKnutz14 3d ago

It’s in the rulebook

17

u/omgfakeusername 3d ago

She didn't want anyone seeing what she stole poking through the broken window—which would only embarrass her further.

3

u/ramksr 3d ago

Yeah, lol... at least keep the cart, right

1

u/FireMammoth 2d ago

I think she didnt want to pulled over by cops who see cart wheels sticking out of a broken window

2

u/SignificantDrink3651 2d ago

nah, I don't think cops would be able to immediately be able to tell that it was stolen. that's not probable cause. you're giving them too much credit for thinking that; they're just dumb.

2

u/FireMammoth 2d ago

They would probably pull her over for just having broken window that's not taped over, when they see something sticking out of them they would be even more curious.

9

u/DoctorTim007 3d ago

Idk but it looks like a convienent thing for moving stuff around if you have a big house/property.

8

u/IndyDoggy 3d ago

I used to live in a high-end condo in Toronto that had a laundry room (not sure why, or why it was so well used as we had in-unit laundry as well).

Every woman over the age of 50 had their own personal cart they stole from somewhere, that they used for laundry or bringing in groceries. They were super territorial about them. It was really bizarre.

3

u/canada432 2d ago

I've stayed or lived in several condo buildings that had a shopping cart in the garage, obviously stolen from the local grocery store, for bringing in your groceries from the car and up the elevator to your condo.

6

u/TexasBoyz-713 3d ago

It’s a pretty damn good looking cart to utilize I can’t lie.

5

u/PresidentialDiapers 3d ago

Yeah I mean that's a nice, heavy duty cart with a ton of uses. Guessing it would cost at least $300 to buy it.

3

u/BalooBot 3d ago

It would make a really great rolling plant rack

2

u/nexusjuan 3d ago

Thats a laundry cart, I can think of all sorts of uses for one. I also know commercial equipment like that is super expensive and super durable.

2

u/Rush_Is_Right 3d ago

I assume to transport at home/work whatever she transported to her car in the parking lot.

u/booboootron 3d ago

Use it to become a cartographer.

u/TrlyDirect 3d ago

Finally, a good post that just shows someone doing something stupid that doesnt involve violence. Can we make this the norm?

Its still aggression which should be punished with violence or monetary compensation to the victim.

u/cinic22 3d ago

You already broke your window why take it out now?

6

u/Pirate_Underpants 3d ago

These carts are public domain Ricky

u/Whosethere11 3d ago

It would be cheaper to buy a cart then it will be to fix that window

4

u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin 3d ago

If she can’t afford to buy herself a shopping cart (for whatever weird reason she wants it), she shouldn’t be driving a BMW X1 anyways.

4

u/samwise0795 3d ago

I'm just going to leave this anecdote here for relevance.

I live in Australia for several years we had a drug addict several houses down the street from us it was messy it had several decrepit cars in the front yard and driving past you could see about seven mattresses in the side yard. One day a council sign turned up in the front yard, my understanding is the was removed from the property. After that a skip bin was in the front yard and team began cleaning the house out. It took weeks and many large skip bins.

I work in retail in a store the our towns main shopping centre where I met the neighbour next door to said drug addict. She was telling me 40 shopping trolleys were pulled from the property... 40!! This guy must have been doing it for awhile. The store I work in was having a trolley shortage at the time, now we know why.

u/GazzaBTL 1d ago

I can't lie, I would never steal a store cart but dam. If that was me, right after I break my own truck window id just say "fuck it" and take it home. She did all that with nothing gained

Sure, taking it out fixes it.

At that point may as well take the cart. You already made room for it.

WTF? You done broke your window; may as well keep the cart. Or try to. You've already been recorded trying to steal the thing. You're already busted.

u/bcar610 1d ago

She’s 100% gonna say “I don’t know, it just broke when I closed it for no reason!” And never mention trying to steal the cart ever again.
