(Scroll down for video) A panty thief has left some New York women frightened, as they are scared to go down to their building’s laundry room where the theft took place.
Women, have done their laundry in the same laundry room for a long time and they felt relatively safe, until now that is. Recently, someone began stealing their underwear from the laundry room.
Elizabeth Santana first noticed that the panties were stolen while collecting her laundry. “Everything was there, except for my underwear and work-out clothes,” Santana said. She asked the superintendent to review the surveillance video from the laundry room and was surprised by what she saw. A young white man can be seen entering the laundry room as soon as the victim left, the perpetrator then went through the clothing in the dryer and sneaked out with her panties.
She was not happy, to say the least. "I was totally disgusted. The fact that it happened in my building, I felt unsafe and violated," Santana said.
“We have heard of people stealing money and Jewelry but panties? That is outright scary. Who knows what the man will do next. He might attack a woman and sexually abuse her,” Mira Jacoby, 24, from New York City told YourJewishNews.com.
Santana is not the only woman who is the victim of an underwear thief. There was another incident three months in ago in other buildings in the area where women’s panties have been stolen, according to reports.
The women have filed police reports on the theft. A photo of the thief will be posted in their building and around the neighborhood.
