Finally there was another video store (might have been the same one) where in and out movies were indicated by these little plastic tags stuck on velcro, and if they were out the tag was gone. I remember for some reason there were two color tags, red and blue; red tag films could be rented by anyone but blue tag films could only be rented by people who had an address in a specific neighborhood (where I didn't live) and I was always cross because there were a few 'blue tag only' films in the kid's section I could never watch and hence my childish curiosity was deeply irked.

When I was really young (probably about '86 or so), there was a rental place my family went to that had a system like this. However, the purpose of the separate tags was to differentiate between VHS and Betamax cassettes.
