This sort of thing is often reported on coupon forums. And back in the day,
popular toys such as Cabbage Patch dolls and Transformers were stolen out of
carts. I once had an elderly woman going through my cart in a Fred Meyer.
I wanted a pastry brush and for some reason they were located on two
different aisles. I was walking back and forth between the aisles without
moving my cart to compare them. The woman's daughter got her out of my cart
and apologized for her behavior.

I love it when some spaced out person puts something in my cart. That has
happened a few times.
