Steve saw this at his girlfriend's apartment in the West Village. Apparently a ghost or pet stole this guy's laundry cart. Actually kind of impressive, when you put it that way.
I see where you were going with this one, but I think the quotations are used properly. He is saying the "person," because whoever did this probably considers themselves to be a "person." The ex-owner of the shopping cart believes that whoever stole it is a F#@$% piece of $h&#!!! But is trying to be civil, albeit in a very passive aggressive way.
Another way to read the note is that John Morris, AKA "The Doorman," is actually the "person" accused of the heinous cart crime. After all, the note IS addressed To John Morris or The Doorman...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Must be alien abduction! Spooky!
How does anyone obtain a grocery cart? Aren't they always stolen?
You can buy little personal grocery carts in NY. But I don't know what kind of monster would steal one.
