I've never seen these devices before, but from what I gather, the chain is supposed to hook onto ANOTHER shopping cart when they're all in a row. It seems the chains are purposely designed to be too short to wrap around and hook onto the same locking device, because that would trick the lock into thinking the shopping cart has been paid for. So "he", or whoever it was, is someone who was finally able to beat the system and not pay for their shopping cart.
Anonymous is totally right - and I have always tried to get the little thing to reach around to the front, but the chain is always... just... a... little... short... So this is quite impressive!
Wow, I'm seriously impressed.

Not sure what this means, but this is absolutely what it's a picture of. =)
