What's up with Shopping Carts ?

I can't figure out if shopping carts belong to the shoppers or the store. People seem to treat them like their own possessions, they take them down the street to their neighborhoods so that there is never one at the store when I need one. But then some people must feel like as soon as their purchases are out of them they'll get arrested for touching them, at least that's the only reason I can see as to why they have left them behind my car when they are done with them.

Trader Joe's had some really great shopping carts just the right size for my Daughter to help get groceries and keep her interested, but them some person with no sense of personal responsibility decided it would be fun to sue Trader Joe's because one of these undersized (useless to her) shopping carts jumped up and bit her (or was it that she cluelessly tripped over one). How much could she really be suing for that TJs would remove the carts from all of their stores?
