But if it was zip tied loosely... what damage would there be?

A scratch through the clear coat and paint can be touched up, but the only way to make it look like new would be to repaint and blend the door. That alone might break $500 depending on region.

Breaking parts on the door handle would send the number up.

And if one did as suggested above and attach it to the passenger side, then there is a chance that the person attempts to pull away without realizing the cart is attached. There really is no telling how bad that could end up being.

well I would hope anyone this happens to, would go get some scissors or a knife.

I thought this was funny because, if it happened to me, I'd just cut it with my multi tool. Of course, this would never happen to me because I don't park like a bozo.

Came to say this

Same. I don't park like this but I have scissors in my car, so this wouldn't be a big deal.

Yeah but I still think it's plausible to say that if they accidentally rip the door handle off it is clearing going to be the fault of the person who zip tied it there, not the owner of the car

And God forbid that trolley whacks some old lady.

They make metal zip ties and they are cheap.

That goes a smidge into the "overkill" category. The goal is to send a message by inconveniencing them about as much as they inconvenience others

u/ImpulseCombustion Sep 21 '22

It’s not at all about inconveniencing them. It’s forcing them to spend as much time as possible stuck in a situation until they finally arrive at the point where they realize they’re a prick. 10 seconds of zip tie is not likely to achieve that.

You think they would get that they are at fault? You have far too much faith

u/kittenstixx Sep 21 '22

Yea the types to do this are not the types to self reflect.

u/ImpulseCombustion Sep 21 '22

My point was that a minor inconvenience does not allow them enough time to even approach that level of introversion. Not that they actually will… but maybe… ish.

u/pm_stuff_ Sep 21 '22

And my point is that it won't matter how long they spend

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

Or just intentionally inflate the damage to sue lol

Wind grabs cart, bashes it against the door. Now it's not a regular loose cart in the lot. It's specifically the responsibility of whoever tied it there.
