A thief with an eye for fancy lingerie stole more than $8,300 worth of underwear and bras from the Victoria's Secret at Orlando Fashion Square Mall on Tuesday.

Police said the bra bandit emptied 11 drawers and a couple of display trays — containing about 200 panties and 140 bras — from the East Colonial Drive store in less than 30 minutes.

An employee said workers had filled their drawers with the underwear and bras for the upcoming sale at 5:30 p.m. and noticed someone had lifted the undies at 6 p.m.

Workers said they don't know how the thief swindled the sexy undergarments because the store doesn't have security cameras and their merchandise is not tagged with anti-theft devices.

It was and undercover job.

An employee said workers had filled their drawers

Wow. Sounds like they were really scared!

“An employee said workers had filled their drawers with the underwear....”

Sounds like it was an inside job.

Must have given the cops the slip and high-tailed it out of there.

Work of a professional panty snatcher?

I'm of the opinion that even the finest lingerie is pretty useless without the woman to go with it...

...kind of like having a Ferrari without the engine.

Nice to she she’s dressed for appropriately for the cold.

These thefts are going on all over the country for several years now.

These thefts are going on all over the country for several years now.

My daughter worked for VS while in college.

There is a gang of Spanish speaking types who drive up and down the I-95 corridor and steal tens of thousands of dollars worth of VS stuff. Literally thousands of dollars at each store.

VS security procedures are nonexistent and basically end up allowing for the outright theft of as much or more product as is sold. That is one reason a person pays $40+ at VS for a stinking bra.
