Looters' caches popping up all over New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS Troops going house-to-house in New Orleans are finding out
just how busy looters were after Hurricane Katrina.
They've found automatic teller machines that had been emptied of cash
and bags of ammunition packaged in 500-round bundles.
A church-run assisted living home was full of bicycles, stereos and
clothing.
Inside another home, the soldiers found stacks of car parts and a video
game system with a pawn shop ticket still attached. A man returning to
the home told soldiers someone else must have broken in and stashed the
loot after he evacuated.
They took the man's name and address, but did not arrest him.
For now, all the found property's being stored in a warehouse. The
district attorney says he intends to prosecute looters but it's just not
a high priority right now.
