suitcase or trunk and memorize the markings. Later a friend can claim the
item. There will be loads of surprises in any suitcase. We have a close
friend who inherited ten kilos of grass this way.
Large laundry and dry cleaning chains usually have thousands of items
that have gone unclaimed. Manufacturers also have shirts, dresses and suits
for rockbottom prices because of a crooked seam or other fuck-up. Stores
have reduced rates on display models: Mannequins are mostly all size 40 for
men and 10 for women. Size 7 1/2 is the standard display size for men's
shoes. If you are these sizes, you can get top styles for less than half
price.

SANDALS

The Vietnamese and people throughout the Third World make a
fantastically durable and comfortable pair of sandals out of rubber tires.
They cut out a section of the outer tire (trace around the outside of the
foot with a piece of chalk) which when trimmed forms the sole. Next 6 slits
re made in the sole so the rubber straps can be criss-crossed and slid
through the slits. The straps are made out of inner tubing. No nails are
needed. If you have wide feet, use the new wide tread low profiles. For hard
going, try radials. For best satisfaction and quality, steal the tires off a
pig car or a government limousine.
Let's face it, if you really are into beating the clothing problem,
move to a warm climate and run around naked. Skin is absolutely free, and
will always be in style. Speaking of style, the midi and the maxi have
obvious advantages when it comes to shoplifting and transporting weapons or
bombs.

FREE FURNITURE

Apartment lobbies are good for all kinds of neat furniture. If you want
to get fancy about it, rent a truck (not one that says U-HAUL-IT or other
rental markings) and make the pick-up with moving-man-type uniforms. When
schools are on strike and students hold seminars and debate into the night,
Yippies can be found going through the dorm lobbies and storage closets
hauling off couches, desks, printing supplies, typewriters, mimeos, etc. to
store in secret underground nests. A nervy group of Yippies in the Midwest
tried to swipe a giant IBM 360 computer while a school was in turmoil. All
power to those that bring a wheelbarrow to sit-ins.
Check into a high-class hotel or motel remembering to dress like the
wallpaper. Carry a large dummy suitcase with you and register under a phony
name. Make sure you and not the bellboy carry this bag. Use others as a
decoy. When you get inside the room, grab everything you can stuff in the
suitcase: radio, T.V. sets (even if it has a special plug you can cut it
with a knife and replace the cord), blankets, toilet paper, glasses, towels,
sheets, lamps, (forget the imitation Winslow Homer on the wall) a Bible,
soap and toss rugs. Before you leave (odd hours are best) hang the DO NOT
DISTURB sign on your doorknob. This will give you an extra few hours to beat
it across the border or check into a new hotel.
