As to wondering who might buy used panties...Take a look at Japan, they seem to be involved in most of the wierd stuff on the internet.

Holy crap- search Craigs under
Victoria Secret- same phone for most of the listings!! Panties, bras, sweats, nighties etc.
Who really has 20 panties "left over" Ah she also "outgrew" the stuff. Looks like taking stuff for a while if you ask me unless more than just panties were taken that day!!

lierre- there isn't a law against taking back underwear. If it doesn't fit are you saying you are stuck with it???


Boston takes back underwear. They CANNOT resell it though. Is this what you mean they are reselling the used underwear?

I guess even if the police did try to do anything they legally cant do anything since there is no "proof" its actually stolen, even though its obvious they would still win in court. looks like these thiefs got away scott free on this one..

ReAlItY BiTeS - Good comment, but do you think the Janesville police will follow up on it? They should hire you to help them with this case. My neighbor had a loud party on his driveway recently - illegal fireworks flying in the air and LOUD music with a heavy base around 11pm. Several of the neighbors called and we cannot get anyone to stop it. So I don't think they can handle an undies crime.

Not saying that I would buy used underwear, but did anyone see the dateline episode where they went undercover to places such as V.S. and bought and returned underwear? Even going so far as to remove any liners and still have the stores take them back. Yuck.

bad boys bad boys watcha gonna doo? watcha gonna do when they come for you?

Wow in one of the ads on craigslist she actually gives her Janesville address where the item is available.

Just so some of you know that wondering where security was, it is Victoria Secrets policy to cal the police and by pass the Mall Security....Thats according to the personal at the store....

You can go to whitepages.com and do a reverse number look up and that number is a Janesville number. You can also pay $1.99 to have the person's name texted to you the site says.

You mean to tell me that the overstarched, chest-puffed-out security guards with the cute little hats who think they are way more important than they are didnt catch the panty raiders?

Go back to wearing bloomers

Ok so i checked again and typed Victoria Secret this time and a ton of stuff came up, there are trying to make everything look and sound different but if you see the same cell # is used in a few of them.. duh

It is pretty obvious these are the same people who stole the stuff and if authorities dont see this or look into it then i guess they got away with this!! these people are stupid and dont care about getting caught since they are selling them on a very busy and popular LOCAL site. I really hope they get caught!!!

Authorities are really going to have to read "between the lines" on this one.

EWWW who would buy painties second hand....even if they were "new". NOT ME especially not from craigs list or ebay.

SBTBHBBB- I also just checked Craigslist and if you go to Janesville then search clothes etc.. and type in "panties" there are 4 listings of someone trying to sell the panties with in the past week or so.. They think they are being slick by putting different different locations for each listing. Now if the police were SMART you think they would look into that a little further? i mean come on its quite obvious its the same person who stole the stuff!! Unbelievble!!!!!!

Sounds like the store needs to push up security.

There firing an employee today for theft! She was helping my friend the otherday get there credit set up. She told her she had 50. available and proceeded to keep a hundred.. Later once realized they found out the same credit line was used on the employee purchase, without the customer! They got some dumb ones in there.

My gf won't be questioned. I think she buys her bra and panties from Home Depot.

When they catch who stole the bras, their going to be hooked up for a long time.

Gives a new meaning to the phrase 'pantie raid'.

Interesting that on I was browsing craigslist yesterday and I noticed a listing for 4 brand new pairs of Sexy Little Thing Panties, because the seller had just too many pairs. A little too ironic, don't you think? I read this story and I instantly remembered seeing that on craigslist.

another crime of passion.. when will it end

Yes, something in this story stinks!!!!!

I worked at Indian Weavings and on week nights you were there alone. One night while I was helping someone with jewelry and at the same time ringing up a customers items, a young kid shoved a bunch of incense and candles into his coat and left. I didnt see it happen, but another customer came up and told me as the kid was leaving. I called security right away. After 20 min they finally showed up asking me what happened and what he looked like, then proceeded to tell me there was nothing they could do because I didnt see it happen with my own eyes. Well of course not, by then the kid probly had already left the mall!!
But our owner liked to take shoplifters into his own hands. One day he seen a kid shove a shirt in his bag and walk out the door. He chased him down the mall to Sears and brought him back and told him pay for the shirt or we would call the cops!

Simple solution; Put a pair of boxers at the front to guard the entrance.

LMAO @ all of you! I love this post! Just about every single one of you found your sense of humor. Kudos!

It is an employee. Search Ebay for the items missing and see what comes up in your area. No doubt the employee is selling the stuff. OR Employees sister/brother/friend ect...

With all that has been stolen from that store there is no other explanation. Duh!

Authorities are searching for "skid marks" to see if there was a getaway car.

I think these claims are padded, but I volunteer allong with Sigma40 to get to the bottoms ---I mean bottom of this dastardly deed

Most likely stolen/taken/misplaced the night before and then noticed later. but if they need any volenteers I will go around door to door inspecting pantys and bras.

The thief really can't be THAT desperate for panties.

"The store manager told police she was away from the front of the store between 7:30 and 8 p.m., reports state."
-
So there was nobody else in the store? Nobody else working? The manager just didn't keep an eye on that portion of the store for a half an hour? Something doesn't make sense.

“Sexy Little Things" collection? Must have been real little to steal that much money worth of them. Were they training bras? No underwires I am sure, that would have poked too much into the robbers body (if they stuffed them down their pants) and if they did that, wouldn't someone notice a really fat person with lumpy skin walking out through the door, into the mall and out to the parking lot? Sounds fishy to me too.

Sounds like an inside job to me. Seriously, no cameras? If they didn't have them before the first theft, they should have had them installed.

Sounds very suspicious to me, check the strip clubs and home party circuit.....

These days most of the things employees are no longer permitted to do are for insurance reasons. Due to the liability, bank tellers and convenience store clerks are not permitted to attempt to stop a robbery. I would imagine that is the same reason retail clerks are not allowed to confront shoplifters. The idea is that if you get the robber out of the building as quickly as possible with no one getting hurt that will ultimately cost the company less than if an employee is injured trying to resist. It is for the safety of the employee and customers, but it is also so the company can cover its own behind (no surprise there). Sounds like the thief in this case is also concerned with covering her behind.

Can't wait to check in later to see how many of these of comments are "removed by site staff." To me, they are quite funny!

Sounds like an undie cover police investigation

Ted Sullivan, congratulations on writing the best intro line I've ever read in the Janesville Gazette.

Did anyone check to see if Bill CLinton was in town??

Thats a BUST for the business! Sure takes a cleavage, I mean clever thief to pull this one off!

You would think after awhile, this company would do something different. Madison East and West, Brookfield Mall. Its like they want them stolen.

Funny that they would actually hire a prior thiefs.. You would think that since someone has stolen before, especially MONEY, they wouldn't get hired... A lot of good it did them :]

This looks like the work of the Sticky Finger Gang.

I'm in!! Where do I sign up!!!!!

It sounds like Victoria's Secret really could benefit from a community watch program. As a concerned citizen, I'd like to volunteer to keep a sharp lookout for every bra and pantie that enters or leaves Victoria's Secret.

C'mon guys... who's with me?!

The store manager was away from the front of the store for 1/2 hour. I assume the front of the store means the entrance. So were supposed to believe that someone stole a bunch of over priced undergarments by the doorway to the store, no surviellance, no mall walkers noticed anything, and no alarms went off. Does insurance cover stolen merchandise, because it sure sounds like a fradulant claim. Now if it were $13,500 worth of thongs, that would require a very small bag to get the goods out, but who needs that much butt floss?

Ok, at an estimate of $50 per bra, that would be 270 bras taken out of the store. How could someone not be seen with almost 300 bras? What are they going to do with them? Who would buy undergarments from craigslist or ebay?

Three thefts in 4 months, no security camera video and an unreliable alarm system? One would think that after the first incident some sort of precaution or prevention would have taken place. Now it just sounds like they're asking for it.

any large sales of undies on craigslist or ebay?

some JPD officer undercover as a mannequin possibly?

probably an inside job...

Maybe the store is looking for some insurance money.......

Sounds like they need to set some "boobie" traps.

So they get robbed all the time and the cameras don't work. Really???

oops need to hire.

frogger

Suggest removal AGAIN???
New to hire new people it seems.

NO sensors- sounds fishy to me. OOPS no pun intended.

They have to notify security. It's for safety reasons. Same reason convenience store clerks and bank tellers are not supposed do anything but hand over the cash.

I have a niece that works at the mall and has told me they are not allowed to stop or say anything to shop lifters. Why? I really cant grasp that one, after all what is the security at the mall for? cant you call them?

Sounds like some employee has lots of undies now..

crystal...apparently thats one of Victoria's Secrets. (Sorry bad humor)

sounds kinda fishy to me. $13,000 dollars worth of clothes and none of the security tags worked?? sounds like an inside job.

how do you get $13,500 worth of panties out of the Janesville Mall? I didn't think that place was that easy to steal from.

That's a whole lotta undies!
