Now I'll upset some people here, I'm sure but...

Here in the UK, you can see how decent an area is using this method.

Go to the nearest Tesco Extra. If they have the coin traps on the trolleys, probably a dodgy area. If they don't, not so dodgy area.

In both cases, you're going to find the trolleys are generally not left lying around. Read into it what you will.

I only use Tesco extra as an example because from my experience other supermarkets either have the coin traps, or don't. It seems only Tesco (correct me if I'm wrong) vary the behaviour by area.

UK here, no coins in any shop's trolleys.
I'm outraged at the number of people leaving carts everywhere. Do they have other people wiping their butt for them too? I don't understand.
