Unmentionable Crime
S A N F O R D, Fla. It was the mother of all panty raids.
A virtual mountain of erotic clothing was discovered missing last Friday from the Sweet Undies booth at Flea World, a bargain flea market outside Orlando, Fla.
The thieves made off with 800 pairs of panties, G-strings and thongs; some 400 bras, including dozens of size DDs and DDDs; and more than 100 girdles, in various colors.
They also took underwear with battery-powered lights, handcuffs, whips, and "women's custom/costume undergarments," said Seminole County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Olson.
"I read it over the first time and I couldn't believe it," said Olson. "It was very unusual."
Sweet Undies owner Marie Abascal told police the total value was nearly $13,000. The thieves apparently crawled under a tarp covering the merchandise sometime in the past few days when the flea market was closed.
"I don't know why they took it," Abascal told the Orlando Sentinel. "If they're destitute for money, they'll sell anything."
She added that because the items had not been insured, the theft could drive her out of business.
