The purpose of requiring a coin for cart isn't actually to decrease
temptation to steal carts but to encourage customers to bring carts back to
their place, instead of just abandoning them at parking lot after use. The
coin wouldn't be worth the cart, but it's more likely worth the bother to
bring the cart back.
