Funny Underwear Thief

Of all the funny news I’ve read today nothing gets me like this one. Ok, I can understand obsessions but this is just crazy.

24-year-old Garth Flaherty , was charged with first degree theft and burglary in the stealing of, get this, 1,613 pairs of female underwear from local laundry rooms.

He was seen taking underwear from two laundry rooms on Saturday. A witness recorded his license number, and Flaherty was identified from photographs. Previously police received 12 reports of panty theft in that area.

After searching his apartment police found enough woman’s underwear to fill five garbage bags. The underwear will be held as evidence until the case is resolved, after which their disposition is uncertain, Tennant said.

He said he had a problem,” police Cmdr Chris Tennant said.

He pleaded guilty of stealing 42kg of women’s undergarments under an agreement with prosecutors and was sentenced to 45 days in jail, but he may serve 30 days in community service.

We were kind of concerned about how to match up bras and panties with victims,” Tennant said. “Based on the unique descriptions from a couple of women, we can tie him to those thefts.

Now let me ask you this. Do you think anyone is crazy enough to take these back? I don’t think so.
