"Pantyhose Bandit" Bedevils Mass. Town

Someone Has Been Leaving Black, Queen-Sized Hosiery Near School Bus Stop For 2 Years

(AP)  Dozens of pantyhose that have been left near a Milford school bus stop are causing sheer annoyance in the neighborhood.

The pantyhose - sometimes new, sometimes used - haves been left on Camp Street for more than two years. They're almost always black and queen sized.

Resident Laurie Warich tells the Milford Daily News she picked up 43 pairs in one day.

Police say they've done some investigating and talked to one suspect. But Chief Thomas O'Loughlin said the only crime being committed is littering and his department just doesn't have the resources to focus on the case.

Some neighbors are discussing doing an amateur sting with video cameras and walkie talkies to catch the so-called "Pantyhose Bandit."

Catch the perp and put her under Hose Arrest

I wouldn''t be complaining too much about the 43 pair if they are resellable and supply keeps up. Or for that matter, I would see them as free stock to do some art or construction with.

Could be a transvestite trying in vain to "go straight". When I was trying to stop smoking I used to throw my cigarettes out the car window, then I''d just break down and buy more.

Clearly this woman needs a hobby, or money to buy her own pantyhose

Send them to CSI Miami for a bu-tt cheek DNA test
