These condo residents have been collecting and storing trolleys at a disabled parking lot

A line of shopping trolleys has been taking up space in a disabled parking lot at Silversea condominium in Marine Parade for months. So said a netizen who reprimanded the residents in a Facebook post that garnered over 200 shares since Sunday. Apparently, the management didn’t take action, so he thought online vigilantes should do the job. 

And it worked, ’cause the trolleys — which probably came from supermarkets at the nearby Parkway Parade — have since been cleared. 

Perhaps this will bring NTUC FairPrice, Giant and Cold Storage one step closer to solving the mystery of their missing carts. The former loses about 1,000 trolleys a year and has spent about $150,000 to repair and replace them, while the other two lose the same amount between them every year.

But on a serious note, it’s not that hard to walk back to the supermarket and return the trolleys. Basic courtesy, people.
