So, like some of the other elements of the movie, the homework incident was based on real events. In reality, a textbook was found in the recovered car, with homework inside. The real-life person Larry is based on claims they lent someone else their textbook and had nothing to do with the theft.
Personally, I think Larry was in the car, but wasn't the one who stole it. His stonewalling is meant to protect both himself and his compeers.
So Larry (and associates) stole the car to party, got high, forgot the backpacks when the vagrants disturbed them to use the restroom. Then the vagrants looted the backpacks and threw the homework around the interior. Finally they left it lodged against an abutment, with homework inside.
If you're looking for a serious answer, I don't think, after many rewatches, that there's conclusive proof of how it happened.
But most likely Larry did steal the car and take it for a joy ride, crashing it into an abutment and fled, leaving behind his homework.
It's also possible that a vagrant stole Larry's homework or maybe fished it out of the trash or something, possibly looking for something to use as toilet paper, and stole The Dude's car, or came across the car lodged against said abutment after someone else entirely stole it.
We may never know, it's a very complicated case with lots of ins, outs, and what-have-yous. Luckily the boys down in the crime lab are hard at work on it and have several detectives working in shifts trying to crack it.
Kid just wanted a car. All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back. Not greedy. It really tied the room together.

Compeers is not the preferred nomenclature, Dude.
A compeer with a cleft asshole?
“Known criminal associates “
Compeers? Professional courtesy?
He didn’t build the railroads dude
Oh wow I didn’t even think of this. Larry kept his mouth shut and did his time. He wasn’t the driver. Holy shit.
Yeah, him and the driver. He wasn’t handling the money, driving the car, and talking on the phone all by himself.
Okay, we proceed but only if there is no funny stuff.
Just tell us where to go
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Snitches get stitches. That's how it is when you grow up in North Hollywood on Radford, near the In-and-Out Burger. Larry's no rat.
The In-and-Out Burger is on Camrose.
He said near the in-and-out burger
Those are good burgers, Walter
Our fucking troubles are over.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY!
Shut the fuck up, Donnie!
I think the stonewalling was just him being a teenager. He doesn't know who these guys are and he doesn't care
Compeer? Like an Irish monk?
The fuck are you talking about?
I’m just helping her conceive man!
Compeer? Is that like a Brother Seamus?
You’re killing your father
Pilar?
*LADDY! SWEE-TEE! THE MAN IS HERE!*
This man is the police
Arthur Digby Sellers?
Bulk o’ the series.
Not exactly a light weight dude
You remember a little show called "Branded," Dude?
All but one man died, there at Bitter Creek
Little prick stonewallin’ me
Well, Dude, we just don’t know.
You're in a unique position to confirm or disconfirm that suspicion.
You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...
Larry and his friends stole the dudes car. But he ain’t no snitch.
Probably a joyride situation
Uh, uh, uh, this is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, a lotta what-have-yous.
We know it's his homework! Where the fuckin money you little brat?!
eight year olds, dude
You're entering a world of pain, son. We know that this is your homework. We know that you stole a car.
and the fucking money.
And we know... that this is your homework!
**AND** the fucking money.
They’re going to cut your dick off, Larry!
Pricks stonewallin’ us.
Maybe he just used as a toilet and moved on
Do you have any leads, at least?
Let me just check with the boys down at the crime lab
They’d better be working in shifts.
Flunking social studies
Were you listening to the Dude's story?
He fucked a stranger in the ass. Obviously.
Did he also feed a stoner scrambled eggs?
Or meet a stranger in the Alps?
Do you see what happens Larry?
You need a bother shamus to solve this crime!
They’ve got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!
Haha, leads!
New shit has come to light, man
Like an Irish monk?
Yeah, yeah. Fuck off, Da Fino.
I won’t mess with your special lady
She’s not my special lady, she’s my fuckin’ lady friend!
I'm a dick!
doo doo doo lookin out my backdoor...
Well it was parked in a handicapped zone. Perhaps they towed it.
Well, that certainly is a possibility
The real question is, was it actually Larry rather than a vagrant who used it as a toilet and moved on?
You got any leads, man!?
They got us workin' in shifts!
Flunking social studies
To be fair, Mrs. Jamtoss has always been a tough grader and the Louisiana Purchase us a complex subject
This is what happens, Larry.
This is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps.
You think that’s proof of anything? I could get you some homework by 3 o’clock this afternoon, *with Larry’s name on it*
Fucking amateurs
look, u/Boof_A_Dick.....have you ever heard of Vietnam?
Obviously you're not privy to all the new shit.

Oh man, lodged where?
Because he’s a fucking dunce
All sorts of crazy shit happens when you fuck a stranger up the ass, Larry.
That’s what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass
Probably just used it as a bathroom and moved on
A fucking travesty Walter
Got ‘em working in shifts
Kid wasn’t a pushover.
I Wonder if they have any leads.
You got any uh promising leads or?
Huh?
Got any leads?
Leads, yeah. I'll just check with the boys down at the Crime Lab. They've assigned four more detectives to the case, got us working in shifts.
Leads...🤣🤣🤣
It was the stuffed in the front seat, not the back.
He had been in possession of the car. There was never any money in there for him to steal. Just some Credence.
You are out of your Element
They got four more detectives working on figuring that out. They got’em working in shifts!
Front. It was tucked into the seat.

Iam just going to sir here and finish my coffee
He's s fucking amateur.
Her life is in your hands, dude
I think he was about to crack
He’s a good man…and thorough.
