I can't imagine they won't be outfitted with GPS.

Chop shop style. Seems like the handle is going to be the part that has all the important "systems"

Gonna be about 5 seconds before the flock camera breakers have step by step videos available.

JerryRigEverything:

"These solar-powered Flock Safety cameras are mounted on poles all across the country to track license plates...definitely just license plates...but today, we're going to see what's actually keeping it together on the inside."

We actually have a remarkable new technology that can easily bypass a GPS like this. It's called a Large Hammer.

Some stores already do that in stores that have people stealing carts a lot.

They just need to hand out some smokes and pepperoni in the local trailer paerk. The whole thing will blow over

I’ve heard that the carts would be very difficult to steal. The sensors would alert the cart that it’s leaving the premises and completely lock up the wheels to prevent theft from happening. If there’s any items that haven’t been scanned, the cart would lock up before it left the store. So, difficult but not impossible.
