Home Depot anti-theft shopping cart - cart stops if it leaves the parking lot.

First time seeing this anywhere. it's intended to keep the car from either leaving the front door of the store or the parking lot perimeter causing it to stop if it does. The front left wheel is a modified wheel that seems like it has some sort of mechanism inside of it that would control the braking.

That one uses RFID. There’s antennas in the store that follows the cart and if it doesn’t pass the point of sale (along w other thresholds) it’ll lock the cart at the door. Kroger is doing the same. That paricalr one isn’t for parking lot perimeter. That’s a diff technology but they just say that to deter the theft. It’s all so interesting

Only a matter of time till thieves figure out how to bypass this.

my local HD stupid carts locked up walking out the effing door with a loaded cart. Lots of carts were sitting right out the door. Screw you HD for the inconvenience.

If you have any additional information on the device let us know it's kind of interesting.
