now dont laugh
no twittering from the back missus
but ive been dun twice now

put my £1 coin in the trolley done the shopping gone to the car put the shopping into my sainsbobs carriers (ok joke) taken trolley back no £1 coin
now first time i expected somehow this coin made a bid for freedom and it was my fault
but it happened again today
i guess someone in my local store has worked out an easy way for free cash
ive not complained but i wonder if this could be a full occupation for a deviant who got instructions from the dark web (onion?)

anyone else been robbed like this?

How can someone else get the coin out if you are using the trolly?

Very mysterious! Have you spoken to any of the staff at Aldi about it?

Have you left your empty trolley unattended whilst perusing goods? Has some be switched trolleys? That could be the only explanation but a rare occurrence indeed and probably you're own fault for leaving an empty trolley unattended :rotfl:

It's me. I get fed up with people thinking they can leave their trolleys here, there and everywhere.... so I whip their coins when they're not minding what they're doing.

The mechanism gets worn and the coin can be pulled out with a pair of pliers.

I put my £1 coin in my trolley to remove it from the trolley park and retrieve the exact same £1 coin when I return it. Unless someone offers me £1 to take my trolley from where I'm parked, thus saving me a journey to return it.

But from now on, I'll also be on the lookout for opportunist thieves armed with pliers! A new crime I never knew existed until tonight!

I never use a pound coin. They'd be pretty miffed to get my Cancer Charity trolley token.

Nor me. I use a 1 Euro coin. Any thief is only getting 73p out of me.

The moral of the OP's story is: don't leave your trolley unattended.

Btw, OP, The Onion isn't the "dark web"

Now, YouTuber Onision (aka "Onion"), oth, is definitely worthy of being sent to the dark web
