15 March 2007: 'nother Knickers Nicker Nicked

In January we reported on a Southampton man who was arrested after stealing women's underwear from washing lines. His crime has now been topped by a Japanese construction worker.

A police spokesman explained "Since he was a construction worker he was able to climb so he had no trouble getting into apartment buildings".

He had also managed to get away with it for more than six years. When they searched his home, police found:

• 10 pairs of stockings;


• 355 bras; and


• 3,977 pairs of panties.

SaintFM will continue monitoring to see if anyone else can beat that.
