I've seen this happen.
We make it a practice to always take our carts back to the area where they
belong, no matter where that is. We always make sure that our cart won't
roll before we start unpacking it. It's a pet peeve of mine to see carts
sitting all around the lots. Many stores hire employees to pick them up.
The stores will request you please return them because it will make your
groceries cost more -- it doesn't matter, people still leave them in the
parking lot.

Although if I knew it were a mom who had to leave her children alone to put
it back, I would say leave it anywhere! Maybe I'll just take a different
viewpoint when I see those carts, and just pretend that all of them belonged
to watchful mums.
