    If you can demonstrate that the government can recover these carts, and return them to their rightful owners, for less than $750, you might have a realistic goal. Let’s say a beat officer earns as little as $30,000 a year. We’ll even ignore the expense to train and insure him. That’s as little as $15 per hour. Having the cart would have to get the perp ticketed, and it would need to be returned to its rightful owner in less than 30 hours. Do you think that you, acting as a private citizen, could relieve such a person of a cart and verify its true owner in four days? I don’t imagine so.

    As for allocating the expense, even the wages of your underpaid mother were taxed. Is this how the tax money from her hard-earned wages should be spent? I would imagine that you appreciate how hard she worked enough to hope her money is spent better than that. (Insurance companies need to stay in business, too.)
