WTFIIWNM?

There's something about northwestern New Mexico when it comes to underwear thieves.
Last January, as reported in Out There, a 13-year-old boy was caught in Kirtland after a trail of ladies' undergarments led from a broken-into store straight to his home.
Nearly a year later, police in nearby Farmington announced a big break in another case involving five months of panty raids.
"This isn't something like tools or articles of value," Detective Sgt. Steve Burch told the Farmington Daily Times. "This is something someone is putting in their closet or something like that."
Since Aug. 8, there have been at least 28 cases of women's underwear being burgled from area homes. Also taken were jewelry, electronics and cash.
On Jan. 8, a woman and her 15-year-old son came home to find a strange man in the woman's bedroom.
"Words were exchanged between the 15-year-old son and the suspect, who fled the residence on foot," Burch detailed.
The boy lost track of the suspect, but cops staked out a suspicious car and arrested Everett Hanova, 34, when he returned to it. The woman and her son identified Hanova as the man in their home.
Police say a search of Hanova's Farmington apartment turned up 217 pairs of women's underwear, as well as 24 bras, two pairs of shorts, a skirt and an evening gown.
Hanova said nothing to police, who booked him on unrelated charges while awaiting more evidence from the burglary cases.
Burch figured many more local underwear thefts had been unreported by residents too embarrassed to go into detail.
"I encourage people to go to police anytime something like this occurs," he said. "It's unusual ... I would be more alarmed by someone like that than a burglary for profit."

Wonder why you never hear about anyone stealing men's skivies or wife-beater t-shirts?
Must be high levels of testosterone in the drinking water.
LOL!
Do you mean too much estrogen in the water? The men are becoming fairies.
Or something like that.
WTFIIWNM?
What, no blouse? :)
Hopefully he at least had the right shoes and bag to go with the gown!
One can only hope he could properly accessorize. :)

By: Todd Dukart Police say a 34-year-old man had stolen quite a collection of women’s underwear before he was caught Sunday. Everett Hanova is suspected in a string of 28 home break-ins in the Farmington area since August. Police say they found more than 200 pairs of women’s underwear in his home, as well as stolen guns, jewelry, electronics and money. Farmington police Sergeant Steve Burch said officers caught up with Hanova after he was caught in the act. “Officers were dispatched to an in-progress burglary when a 15-year-old boy caught the suspect,” Burch said. “He challenged him and then fled on foot.” Burch said they caught Hanova a short time later when he returned to get his car. |
Yikes. Imagine this guy prancing around in a miniskirt and bra. Wesley Clark, OK. But this bubba?
I may sound like a square, but why would someone steal women's underwear. Of course the contents of said skivvies are interesting, but this is like swiping Twinkies wrappers.
Actually, I think I figured out a good use for the unmentionables. Just take a pair to a store, find a hot salesgirl, and ask "Hey Baby, could you fill this for me?"
If you don't get slapped, you're in.
I have an alibi.
I love my wife in that outfit!
hehehe... my hometown made the news! Please keep in mind that all us Farmingtoners aren't that strange... we had the President in out town for gosh sakes!
