Need Help Using Social media

[SEX_VAMPYRE]

Hello,

This may or may not be the best forum however I hope you can at least help by referring me to where I can get help.

I have a problem in my community of Lackawanna N.Y. about stolen Save-A-Lot shopping carts being left abandoned on my street and all over my town. I have photos of these shopping carts on my street. I even have a photo of an unknown woman taking home a Save-A-Lot shopping cart. I've had no luck dealing with the store owner or Save-A-Lot Corporate. They refuse to replace their carts with ones that have wheel locks on them.I've complained to the BBB.org to no avail. My problem is that my local newspaper, The Buffalo News doesn't think this problem merits their attention. What forums can I visit to post about this problem with my photos to receive maximum media attention?Save-A-Lot needs to be publicly shamed into doing something about their abandoned stolen shopping carts. I hope someone here can help me. Thanks.

Update.

Thanks for all your help and support.

I found this site and posted my problem here.

Fuck'em.
Get a buddy with a truck or find a scrap metal dealer to come take them away. Then sue the retailer for the costs involved in doing it. Make sure your lawyer works only on contingency so if the suit isn't won, you're not out any cash.

The lawsuit ought to be enough to 'shame' Save-A-Lot into dealing with the situation. Naming the person bring the carts home as a co-defendant should encourage said individual into figuring out a better way in getting his/her groceries home.

That's the opposite of a problem.

Starting collecting them, put the carts to use in more creative ways, take new pictures, and start a blog. After you've assembled a half dozen more eye-catching uses for the Sav-A-Lot's carts, the local paper will find your tale-of-woe more newsworthy. And Sav-A-Lot will notice that it's getting really expensive to replace their carts.

Suggested uses:

1. Planters. Capitalize on the local movement and start a portable garden. Line up a mess of carts in an abandoned lot/local school, line them with burlap, fill with dirt, and plant! Bonus points if you get kids involved in growing vegetables. The papers will love that angle.

2. Modern art. Melt the plastic bits, snip & twist the metal, and combine carts in precariously stacked configurations, to your heart's content. Your local museum/gallery will appreciate your take on the decay and transient nature of modern society.

3. Cart races! It's summer. Do fun things with wheels. Each team decorates their cart and races a track in the park/ing lot. All entry fees are donated to charity.

4. Replace the front wheel from a bicycle with a cart, and sell them. Trumpet how people are reducing their carbon footprint by being able to carry home an entire grocery trip in one bike ride!

If you start collecting now, you should have enough to create a Christmas tree just in time for the holiday season!
