I live in a 110 unit coop and we have a problem with shareholders and renters removing laundry carts from the laundry room. Any suggestions on how to stop this?

in this bldg they are normally taken upstairs to offload the folded clothes, not a big deal as long as they bring them back down after uploading . The wash cycles are spread out enough that 30 minutes or less round trip is not going to matter. You also have to have the right amount of carts for the number of dryers.
soon there will be locating devices , like iphones and itouch ,smartphones use that you will be able to hide in the tubing.
Some stores attach long poles to the shopping carts so they won't fit through the doorways. Might work for laundry carts too. A 10' length of 1/2" steel electrical conduit (EMT) is probably under $5, plus a few clamps, might do the trick.

If you have not already I would suggest posting a notice in the laundry room and have management send a memo to shareholders (you can explain why). This message also needs to be conveyed to domestic help where English may be a barrier. (Friendly reminders go a long way)
