This is getting common here in SoCal... although I suspect they have a wire in the ground around the parking lot and if you cross the line it locks one of the wheels. I know this because at the 99 cent store and tried to go out on the sidewalk to get to my car.

Also here in SoCal I see stake-bed trucks (presumably owned by the supermarket) roaming the street looking for wayward carts.
