Can I just say that the Tower Records LP guys were Legendary here is Austin. The now defunct Tower was on "the Drag", which is the main strip outside UT. The largest school in the U.S. Maybe the world. 50,000 college students. Half of them female. It's real hot in Texas anyway, I was LP down at the drug store by myself. I used verbal commands and trickery for the most part to apprehend the thieves. So back in the day on the Drag there were s-tons of homeless street gutter punx and middle age homeless with chronic disorders such as schizophrenia and hopeless alcoholism. The Tower LP guys would body slam shoplifters into the concrete sidewalk. daily. I think they did it as a deterrent to other would be five finger discounters. Corporations and their developers have killed the Drag. Sanitized for your pleasure.
