The Great Bra Holdup
Actually, it was a surreptitious affair, so "Shoplifting and Separation" is a better fit. Somebody purloined about $13,000 worth of undergarments from the Victoria's Secret in Coventry Mall (mostly bras from the Very Sexy collection, which ironically makes the chain's 10 Most Wanted list). Took two trips. Sounds like too much to just walk out the door under the smuggler's smock. (Know slip, Sherlock.) Apparently, any connection to freshpair.com's announcement of National Underwear Day is simply a coincidence. No, the light-fingered felony seems to be part of a Larger Lacy Larcency Conspiracy. Similar jobs have been pulled in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois and Washington state. After the Boston job, a perp was apprehended when some of the hot stuff turned up on eBay, where many Very Sexy items can still be found, including the Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Poker Chip Set. Very Sexy Poker Chip Set?
