High up haul

A Japanese construction worker was arrested on Tuesday for underwear theft, with police finding a humongous haul of 4,400 pieces of women’s undergarments in the 54-year-old’s Hiroshima apartment.

Panty pervert Shigeo Kodama’s capture came after being rumbled for stealing a measly six items of underclothing from two homes in February; however during questioning he inadvertently gave away his powers of panty pilfering by boasting — in reference to his work on tall buildings — that, “I’m very good at climbing to high places.”

How good Kodama-san is at climbing high prison walls on the other hand remains to be seen.

    Sadie the Bra Lady will obviously be breathing a sigh of relief that this fellow is under lock and key.

    This story seems to be on an endless loop. Every six months or so, a guy gets pinched for pilfering a few panties, the police search his place and find thousands more, and we’re then treated to a pic of all the underwear lovingly arranged by the cops, presumably so the victims can claim their stolen goods (why would they want them back?) and after the cops have taken the good stuff for themselves. Maybe they’re just proud…

    It’s simple. Raiding the house of a panty thief is cheaper and less scary than raiding the house of a crack dealer. Not that Japan has a crack problem, I’m sure.

    It’s an especially nice setup–the cops get their booty, and some sack takes care of the legwork, as well as the rap. Crime is on the run, indeed.

    That beats the guy who stole 2400 pieces a year ago. Who will break the record now?
