That's hilarious. How did the rest of the conversation go?

I just dropped him off at the nearest light. He would leave a small bag in the car from then on so he didn't have to lug all his stuff around.

This was around 1989, the location is Veemarkt in Amsterdam ('Veemarkt' is dutch for cattle market).

Back then homeless people in Amsterdam were fairly rare, now there are 100's of them.

I'm surprised that he chose to continue using your car then, because I would have thought being found out once would permanently turn him off and have him find another place. I guess you might have communicated to him that it was okay for him to use your car is a stronger way than you recall; or maybe the 80s just had a different vibe.
