Just in case anyone was wondering, the C5 does fit nice and snug in a shopping cart corral. No need to try for yourself!

Poor car. Looks like it got just a bit to close on the drivers side and front. I'm thinking it was probably stolen?

You are probably right. This is how they ended their joyride.......or the owner was extremely intoxicated.

Must have climbed out the window to escape, or it was a runaway

Walmart? I wonder how long it will take the cart gatherer employee to realize that it's not a cart.

No idea what happened, I don't have the back story. I believe it is at a military post exchange, not Walmart. Figured yall would get a kick out of the photos. Someone had a bad day for sure.

Would love to have seen how the driver got out of the car. Or else some pranksters moved the shopping cart corral around the car.
