A man in China was arrested for stealing more than 2,000
pairs of women's underwear, found by maintenance staff stuffed inside the
ceiling above several fire exits in an apartment building in Yulin city in
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
But the bra bandit of Yulin city, southeast China, has
finally been snared after the ceiling of his apartment collapsed under the
weight of his stash.
The man, surnamed Tang and in his 30s, lives in the
residential building and reportedly used a master key to open doors to around
750 households in the residential area.
The bra bandit had hidden more than 2,000 pairs of pilfered
pants and brassieres in the cavity above his bedroom in the Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region's second-largest metropolis.
He had amassed the vast - and colourful - trove of lingerie
by creeping into his neighbours' homes and snatching their smalls when they
were at work.
They did not say how he had obtained the skeleton key.
What his victims did not know was that their stolen
underwear was right under their noses and in their neighbour's apartment all
along.
As the stash grew, it soon became too heavy for the flimsy
roof panels and they buckled under its considerable weight.
The police also report that Tang has stolen underwear from
other apartment buildings, besides the one in which he lives, reported
Shanghaiist.
The underwear thief has since confessed to his crimes,
claiming he has had a mental illness since he was young boy, and said he didn't
know when his obsession with stealing women's underwear started.
