Also, there was a local Cass Corridor resident named Larry. Some called him Larry the Looter, because he'd raid places like the Wayne State Art Department after the full semester, and take any items discarded in the lockers. He had a good eye for style and taste. He knew kitsch, too. He'd sell his stuff outside the Majestic for cheap [[beats plain panhandling). He was an odd street philosopher, as well. Sometimes, if some dude tried to sell him a stack of C.D.'s or similar collection that looked like the contents from someone's car, he'd buy it and track down the owner who may've been broken into, and return that stuff to them, free of charge.

Zoot's coffeehouse was known to do that on a number of occasions. It usually meant noticing the kind of taste in C.D.'s being sold, and saying "Hmmm, this looks like the things that our patrons would be into.", and sure enough, a break-in did occur to said assumed patron. Granted it didn't help reduce the incentive for such break-ins, but the descriptions were taken down for Wayne State police [[who were cool with Zoot's), and it was more important to get those items back to their rightful owners A.S.A.P.
