Target's anti-theft device...

Took Paco to Target today and saw something very neat.

We walked out of the store and across the way to the candy machines to check them out. All of a sudden, the cart he was in, stopped rolling. I thought something was stuck in the wheels and was vigorously searching them when an employee came over to tell me that "carts can't go past this point."

Apparently, there's a self-locking mechanism when they go a certain distance from the store.

He had to electronically unjam them. It was wicked cool.

Would be neat to have that on my car, my computer, or a kid..they stop moving (working) when x meters from me.
