Supermarket offers charity income to get their trolleys back.
The Asda supermarket
in Southampton is so fed up with having its trolleys lost or stolen that is has 
asked a local charity to help them. Over four years the supermarket has lost 761
trolleys. It has now offered breast cancer charity Tickled Pink £1 for every trolley
returned.

In effect the supermarket has declared a trolley amnesty. In the first day ten trolleys
were returned. Could this idea be replicated around the country?
