MIDWEST CITY, Oklahoma (Reuters) – An unemployed woman who said she was desperate for money has been arrested on charges she robbed an Oklahoma McDonald's with a white stretch girdle wrapped around her face as a makeshift mask.
Authorities said 51-year-old Sharon Lain of Midwest City admitted to being the underwear-masked bandit who made off with the contents of a cash drawer from the fast-food restaurant around 3 a.m. Tuesday.
A surveillance video captured the woman on tape and was broadcast on local television, prompting several tips that led police to a condemned home on Wednesday night where Lain was found living, said Midwest City Police Chief Brandon Clabes.
Police found the underwear - a white stretch girdle known as 'spanx' - along with illegal drugs, including methamphetamine.
"She admitted to her role in the burglary," said Clabes. "And we found the clothes she wore. This was a really bizarre disguise. I wasn't sure what spanx was. I've never seen a woman with one on; now I've seen one on someone's face."
Police said Lain was a former night shift manager at McDonald's but was fired about a month ago. Lain told investigators she needed money and suffered from a gambling problem.

Good Lord. Make it 2 Big Macs, please.
I seriously doubt Laz would consider it.

Oh he would hit it all right. The questions is, would he have her keep the girdle on her face - or take it off.
Got her number?; (I’m so roanly)..
lol. She probably looks better with it on her face.
“I hope she gets the help she needs”
It would appear that this lady was at the end of her ropes. Desperation time had set in. I just hope I never reach that point. Obama’s fault.
The Skidmark Bandit strikes again!
Can you imagine the number of homeless vet stories we would have if a Republican was President right now?
Unfortunately, a thong does not provide much disguise.
