An ongoing puzzle — why, oh why do grocery carts get abandoned in mid-block by the Post Office?

The abandoned cart from mid March was emptied of its junk (the contents were simply dumped by the road) and the cart disappeared. Then part of the stuff disappeared. Three days later another cart appeared. Then two days after that, a second cart. Then after a couple of days, both carts (and the remaining stuff) disappeared. When I walked by a couple of days ago, another two carts had appeared.

This is a bizarre location to abandon a grocery cart — not near any residence or business. Is this a spaceport for aliens after their grocery pickup? Has anyone seen little gray humanoids shopping at Grocery Outlet and pushing their purchases “home” in a purloined cart? Here’s the AI-generated version of what that might look like:

If anyone knows why grocery carts get abandoned here, please send me email at everythingfallbrook@gmail.com — I really do want to know what’s going on!
