A middle aged white lady with a dark coat, only seen from
behind, carrying a Costco coupon book in Costco? You're right!
He only pointed out three other women he thought it could be
in our travels.

By the time I returned, she was long gone from the area or
I would have gotten the stupid thing back. Ron didn't think about the
address on the book business (like she's going to come to my house
or something ... I'd just rather she didn't have it), he's not
going to turn on his remarkable powers of intimidation over a
coupon book you can replace at the front desk.

If he knew my shopping list was in there ... that would have
changed things.

Actually, I wasted some time looking into people's carts, I thought
he meant that someone had walked off with the wrong cart. Hell,
I've done that.

Meanwhile everyone's thinking she just walked off with your cart
by accident.

You're a magnet for shopping cart madness.
