Just found this product:

One better than the tokens (which could still go missing - they only cost 50p, but still)... This will apparently release the trolley so you can use it, but doesn't need to be left in the mechanism. So you get your trolley, then put this back in your pocket.

It does say it only works in the ones where you just push the coin into a slot. Not the ones where the coin sits in a round hole in a little drawer (if you know what I mean).

I haven't used one myself so can't vouch for it working. Anyone tried one?

I know you only lose £1 each time but it would just irritate me!

pinkteapot,these are the type of tool that supermarket staff use to collect trolleys from around the supermarket carpark.When a queue of trolleys is getting so long that it is butting out into the road,staff use a toll like this to release then redistribute trollies.
