did the cart have groceries in it she didn't pay for or is grants being petty over a half broke buggy that the woman needed more than grants did

It doesn't matter. Theft is theft. And it happens all the time with grocery carts. Would you like to walk in to buy groceries and all the carts be gone? The stores, everywhere shouldn't have to keep driving around looking for their carts, or purchase new ones. Buying them also increases food prices to cover theft. If someone walks to the store, they should only buy what they can carry in a single trip.
