Hundreds of bras stolen from Victoria's Secret

MANCHESTER — An undercover investigation is undoubtedly needed to find out who stole hundreds of Victoria Secret Very Sexy brassieres from a Mall of New Hampshire store.

Victoria Secret manager Kelly Duvall called police Thursday at 4 p.m. to report that up to 200 of the push-up, but not padded, bras in various sizes and colors were missing.

The bras were stolen from the storage area of a display case.

Each is priced as between $40 and $45. Police said the total value of the stolen bras could exceed $20,000.

Anthony Hebron, spokesman for Limited Brands, parent company of Victoria's Secret, said that estimate is high.

"We have not been able to assess what the amount is," he said. "It ($20,000) sounds a little high."

Police said the thieves will be limited in how they can dispose of the bras because of the large number of them.

I didn't know there was such a demand for double barrelled slingshots. Undercover investigation indeed.

[CzarNicky]

Sounds like an inside job. I volunteer my services for a hands on investigation of all the models.

[martin_fierro]

[ElkGroveDan]

After a tragedy like this I hope someone steps in to offer the badly needed support.

[Past Your Eyes]

I figured a strapping lad would step up and volunteer.

[ElkGroveDan]

Criminals are everywhere. I'd like to get my hand on those boobs.

I'm sure a government oganization dedicated to providing "affordable bras" for disenfranchised persons of colour and/or gender, is even now patrolling the streets looking for people sleeping under bridges who desperately need Victoria's Secret underwear.

Well, there are fringe sects in Pamelatology who use stolen bras for all manner of unspeakable rituals. But they're unsanctioned!

Maybe you should check Barney Frank's website.

I don't know...there seems to be no shortage of folks who are willing to overlook the fact that they wouldn't be buying from an "authorized retailer", so to speak. I have a couple of those, and while they're a bit pricey, I'm not willing to buy stolen property to get a deal on them. Some folks don't care. I suspect they'll be able to unload quite a few of them, if not all.

Confiscated for duty at Gitmo. Tell Durbin!

[Past Your Eyes]

Are you saying we should keep our eyes on the dollar stores to see if their cups runneth over?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

One for every terrorist in Gitmo.

[spectre]

$40 to $45 dollars for ONE bra? I'd have to be a total boob to pay those prices..

The unspeakable horror is that some poor Islamic terrorists may be forced to wear them.
