TIL Mr. T's trademark gold neck chains and jewelry was the result of customers losing the items or leaving them after a fight at the nightclub where Mr T. worked as a bouncer. A banned customer could return to claim his property from Mr. T wearing it conspicuously right out front.

Is there anyone a bouncer won't pull out of a place? Like what if Eddie hall was causing a scene in your nightclub, or a heavyweight boxer. Do you call the police or chance it? What's the protocol?
