Reminds me of a recent trip to WDW. I've a backpack which always gets too heavy by the end of the day due to a back injury, so I got a luggage cart and tote the backpack around on it. This was fine in the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT and Blizzard Beach.

I got to Hollywood Studios and was told I would not be allowed to use the luggage cart. When I asked why, I got the standard "because we said so" answer. They referred me to Guest Services, who told me this was a front gate call. Typical Disney runaround. I left Guest Services, entered the park, and used the cart the whole day without one person saying a word to me. I even left the front gate with the cart and walked to the boat, saying goodbye to the gatekeeper @ the exit.

I chalked it up to someone who just wanted a taste of power.

Over at the MOG (Mall of GA) the Simon rent-a-cops will actually stop and remind you not to leave your packages in plain sight. Of course, the crooks probably just keep an eye out for when they do stop and hit that car next.
