During the past week, Alaska State Troopers in Kodiak have received a series of burglary reports, criminal trespass, and theft that they believe are related. The troopers say citizens are returning home to find their residences have been entered and various items, but mostly womens' underwear, have been stolen and or rifled through.
While investigating these crimes, AST has learned that other citizens in town have encountered similar events in the recent months, but have not reported them to law enforcement.
One of those is Hannah Clark, a fisherman who lives in Bells Flats. She said she started noticing some of her things were moved around in her home over the summer when she'd come back in from fishing. She said it didn't really sink in until today (Wednesday) that those incidents and her missing underwear were related.
I can't believe there is an actual underwear bandit, she said.
What makes it worse, Clark said, is she just got a $150 order from Victoria Secrets and they're all gone. Clark said at least the underwear bandit has good taste.
Troopers are reminding the public not to leave their homes unsecured and to be vigilant of their surroundings, and to report any suspicious activity. The investigation by troopers is ongoing and they're asking anyone with further information regarding this or similar activity, contact them at 486-4121.
Get a safe.
They are?
...and they call this a free country.
Not as yet.
Thank you.
Of course!
Panty bandits are an odd bunch, but often have a strikingly similar, eccentric profile.
When they take their loot home, they not only treat it very carefully, but fold it up, sometimes put it in an envelope, then record the date and time when they stole it. That is, they carefully label the evidence of every crime.
Some of them go to great lengths to get their prizes. I remember one “Spider-Man” who climbed up the side of a five story building, at night, to get into an open window, located and stole the panties, and made his escape, without waking his victim.
Of course, when the police finally catch them, they might quickly solve dozens of crimes, often with the victims having no idea they were burglarized.
The jokes just write themselves ping.
Like rocks...PC incorrect lab test, but "I seen it with my own eyes".
Spitz may have been Jewish, and Phelps may have unnatural flippers, but neither of them have any Ebonese genes, by my reckoning....
Hmmm. Weird world.
This case will require an under cover operation.
Be wear-y.
