Exactly.

Now in my case, "Shopping" means grocery shopping or going to a Target or WalMart. In all of these cases, these stores have shopping carts, so I just fold up the bike, put it into a shopping cart, and then start shopping.

I have never been stopped in any store when doing this, and though you significantly reduce the cart's capacity for groceries when there's a bike in there, there's still more than enough space to buy more than I can easily ride home with.

Needless to say, its hard to steal my bike when it's in my cart the whole time.
