[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 131407, member: 1991"] Star, you said, "(then hand them a gerbil when they come to the door)" You forgot the roll of duct tape! Seriously, I would add to the ransom note, "And you will never make them talk!" Is there a possibility that some nearby shopping complex has collected them? We have trolley tractors that go round the area and collect stray trolleys (what we call shopping carts) and hand them over to various stores. They're not too fussy about making sure that the supermarket gets only supermarket trolleys, the fruit & veg place gets only the fruit & veg trolleys etc. They just go by numbers. mother in law has gone one of those grandma trolleys, those little things that trundle along behind you and which tucks up neatly behind her door. When we go shopping the whole trolley lifts into the boot of my car, and when I drop her off I lift it out and she just wheels everything in to her place. I like the idea of handling it with humour - why not use ALL the ideas, sequentially? Put up a photo with "have you seen this shopping cart? Last seen on [x date] loitering under the stair well, may have got into bad company and need rescuing. Grave fears are held for the safety of the shopping carts, fears of kidnap are being considered and ransom money being collected. We would pay the ransom, but we need a shopping cart to carry the ransom in." Marg [/QUOTE]
