Caches of looted goods have been found in New Orleans. The cops secure them and tag them for later retrieval: "Katrina's hidden loot" from the AP.

- a six-feet-high stack of automotive parts
- off-road motorcycle
- broken-open ATMs
- 500-round bundles of ammo
etc.

In a church-run assisted living home close to a heavily looted Wal-Mart in the lower Garden District, a team of guardsmen found new bicycles, stereos and clothing.

Someone associated with the church, who refused to give his name, said at least seven rooms in the four-storey residence were filled with goods believed to be stolen.
