Shopping car chaos in Salzgitter: Who cleans up the mess?

In Salzgitter-Tiede, a massive theft causes a stir: In the night of Friday, 300 shopping carts disappeared from the parking lot of the real market, which caused an enormous damage of around 45,000 euros. The police continue to investigate and the officials are looking for witnesses who may have observed suspicious. The crime occurred between Thursday, 10 p.m. and Friday, 5 a.m., and has some customers and the management, since such incidents are not common here, such as regionalhute.de reported.

less order, more chaos

At the same time, residents report on another, no less worrying problem: trapped shopping carts multiply behind a construction fence near a bulky waste container. The cars apparently come from supermarkets such as Rewe and Lidl, which were discovered by concerned citizens in a chaotic state. The number of orphaned shopping carts has increased in such a way that residents ask themselves how companies react to it - or whether they notice the problem at all. A reader pointed out the editorial team of News38.de

The affected supermarkets are aware of the Situation and have already taken measures to return the lost goods. Rewe confirmed that a quick collection of shopping carts was planned, while Lidl announced that it will increasingly use technical solutions in the future to prevent the cars from leaving the site. Nevertheless, the question remains how this large accumulation of shopping carts occurred - the criminal police and the market owners face a challenge to clarify these incidents.
