Stuck on you . . . Panties thief snared with glue

FOR months, women have been reporting incidents of clothes being stolen from washing lines.

And all of them have something thata��s very strange in common . . .

They agree that the laundry snatcher only steals panties!

Surprisingly, it has emerged that the alleged thief is a 15-year-old boy, it goes without saying that his mum is very, very worried about him.

The boy sneaks into shacks in TV and Mandela sections near Westonaria, Gauteng . . . yet he doesna��t steal phones, television sets, or even money.A� He only steals womena��s panties! Phindile Mavela (29) said: a�?We put paint and glue on the panty liners and spread it around footpaths in the area. We finally caught the thief red-handed.a�?

When the SunTeam arrived at The Base, where neighbourhood thugs are tried and disputes are heard, the 15-year-old boy stood accused of being the sneaky mastermind behind the series of petty crimes.

His mum (31) said: a�?I think my son is cursed. I think he needs prayer.a�?

According to sexologist Dr Eve, stealing panties may be a fantasy or part of normal sexual development.

a�?It only becomes a problem when the boya��s behaviour interferes with the law, and stealing is a crime,a�? said Dr Eve.

Sexologists study human sexual interests and behaviours.

Sergeant Linki Lefakane said: a�?WeA� encourage people to bring such matters to us. We dona��t discourage community leaders from community arrests, but the cops must be involved.a�?A� Locals said theya��d report such cases in future. – dailysun .
