Interstingly enough, Nashvile, known as homeless central, the problem of 
property misappropriation.
The following scenarios are most common:
Property is most commonly stolen by their peers or abandoned when it 
expedoent to do so.
In general, since things mean little to them, they consider it part of the 
chosen lifestyle.
Homeless groups themselves areinteresting.
I had one take up residence under a bridge near tracks.
It was so formalised that they had mail delivery to a marked rural maibox
They had a "mayor" who was their rep and advocate in frequent police contacts 
and a "bull" (I think was his title) who was the enforxcer for the group and 
enforced only the groups living rules and drug agreements.
Hierarchy is commonly determined by  last man up rules.
Females are in cluded in the group and may either bond or be commonly 
available.
