The BackboneJS library and the documentation generated by Docco has always been an interesting example. Compare the annotated source with the source at GitHub:

> Feels like a lazy justification

I try to give people kindness and grace, even for small things. Maybe we can sometimes reframe a "lost cart" as something other than an act of laziness or aggression against society. Maybe it’s a sign someone was just having a hard moment.

When I take a stray cart back, sure, it could’ve been left by someone careless. But it also could’ve been left by someone overwhelmed. Maybe a parent, an exhausted worker, someone barely holding it together because of some struggle we'll never know.

Returning that cart might be a tiny act of kindness toward someone who needed it that day.

All I'm asking is that we give caregivers a little empathy and some grace. To your question - There's not much risk. Lock the car, return the cart.

But what I'm offering is that if I saw a parent leaving a cart, I wouldn't judge and assume that it's because of a glaring moral failing.

I don't see mention of parenting.

Imagine you’re in a hurry. Your child is tired and hungry, and you are too. You’ve just loaded the groceries into the trunk and finally gotten your child strapped into the car seat. You think for just a moment that you're done. But then you realize: you still need to return the shopping cart. You should have loaded the groceries, locked the car, gone back to the cart return and then carried your child back to the car to load them into their car seat.

Now you’re faced with a dilemma with three bad options — do you take your child back out of the car, leave them unattended for a moment, or abandon the cart and go home?

Another parameter - as a track designer you can manipulate the width of the track to change the ball speed. It raises and lowers the ball on the track, changing both the rolling diameter and the center of gravity. This can be used to make subtle changes to the ball speed before a turn.
