Panty Thief Busted Up, Then Busted

AUGUST 10--Meet Bruce Taylor. The Oklahoma man was busted and busted up last Friday by an aggrieved husband and wife team whose home had been broken into on five consecutive nights. And why was the 20-year-old Enid man allegedly coming back to their place night after night after night after night after night? He was there for Maria Isordia's bras and panties.

According to an affidavit filed in Garfield County District Court, husband Carlos set a trap for Taylor that would have made MacGyver proud. Using only a coffee cup, string, and a bra, Carlos nabbed Taylor (and then beat the intruder silly with a wooden leg taken off his baby's crib).

Taylor, now facing up to 20 years in prison after being hit with a felony burglary charge, was treated at a local hospital before posing for the below Garfield County Sheriff's Office mug shot. While getting bandaged up, Taylor admitted to cops he kept the unmentionables in a lunch box next to his bed. But Enid cops told TSG that they actually found his underwear stash--weighing in at an astonishing 55 pounds--stored in a large red cooler.

How many panties does it take to total 55lbs?

If they're Rosie O'Donnell's, two.

[Jaysun]

Who said "federal"? The story said "felony"... or are there skeletons in your closet that are escaping?

I uh...here's the deal.....I found those fishnet speedos in a dryer at the laundromat. Nobody was there to claim them so I kept them. Is that such a crime? And the other panties were a gag gift from the guys at the office.

Carlos nabbed Taylor (and then beat the intruder silly with a wooden leg taken off his baby's crib).

You gotta like this Carlos.

"Or is breaking into someone's home to steal something enough?"

Here it is enough to get ya shot! He is lucky the guy used a crib leg on him instead of a 'hogleg'.

[Y0K]

Some local college girls would have given him their panties.

And then there are some that would have given him the real thing.

My Sister really wants me to move from LA to Tulsa. Now LA is no picnic in the crime arena, but we just seem to get a class of better looking criminals here.

[Tribune7]

husband Carlos set a trap for Taylor . . . Using only a coffee cup, string, and a bra,

This sounds like something out of Tom & Jerry.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Doesn't look near as bad as the two guys who tried to force their way into my brother's house when I was there a few years ago.

[WKB]

Seriously, he's psychotic. How many panties does it take to total 55lbs?



To make that calculation you would need to know
if they were "wet" or dry.

[Tangerine Time Machine]

I think I heard banjos when looking at that mug shot.

[Jaysun]

Here it is enough to get ya shot! He is lucky the guy used a crib leg on him instead of a 'hogleg'.

I'm with you there. He would have never gotten off the welcome mat here, much less be able to make his way to the laundry room. I was just curious.

[Jaysun]

To make that calculation you would need to know
if they were "wet" or dry.

You'd also need to know how many of them are crotchless, fishnet, edible, mink fur, or corduroy.

UNNNNGH....

And... another one....

Panty-thief fined, banned

Truro - A British man who raided bedrooms and washing lines on the remote Isles of Scilly to amass a collection of women's underwear has been banned from the islands for seven years.

Andrew Stephan, 42, was sentenced on Monday to 150 hours of community service for each of the 10 counts of theft to which he pleaded guilty last month. He was ordered to pay more than $1 800 in costs.

Judge Paul Darlow also barred Stephan from visiting the Isles of Scilly, off England's southwest tip, or entering a house without invitation for seven years.

The grey-haired father-of-two stole 160 pairs of panties and various sex toys from homes on the isles' main island of St Mary's, where crime is uncommon and doors are left unlocked.

A matter of broken trust

Passing sentence, the judge said Stephan had broken the long-standing trust unique to small communities like St Mary's.

"That is a trust that does not unfortunately exist on the mainland, and one that must even on St Mary's have been badly shaken by the discovery of your activities," Darlow said.

Defence attorney Llewellyn Sellick said Stephan felt "deeply ashamed" of what he had done.

Stashes of women's underwear were found in the house Stephan once shared with his estranged wife when her new boyfriend pried apart floorboards looking for water pipes.

Over the next few days he lifted hatches set into the floor to search other parts of the loft space and found more, plus sex toys and photographs. Underwear continued to turn up around the house and in the garden shed over the next few months.

He must have liked the smell of her panties if he broke in 5 nights in a row to get the dirty ones.

[Dashing Dasher]

How bizarre!

[cbass12]

He looks like he's a little too dumb to be a democrat.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Technically speakin' of course, he was only gettin' boostiered by his own (er, her own) petard....

[Robert A Cook PE]

Make up yer mind: It's gonna be either corduroy or mink.

Never both.
