A Victoria's Secret store in Flagstaff Arizona had $15,000 worth of bras stolen in broad daylight!
It seems that someone managed to walk out of the store with 350 of the undergarments without setting off the alarms.
Can someone tell me what you would do with 350 bras? And how are they going to get all those little plastic things off without tearing up the silk?

Ok girlfriend...is it just me or would you not be seriously worried about buying underwear on EBAY? I won't even wear them straight out of the shop brand new without taking them home and washing them in the hottest water the material will stand.

I know that people will buy the craziest things on there. It now worries me about buying something new on the auction sites for fear that they might be stolen.

Wonder if it was an inside job? I cant imagaine anyone just walking out with that many bras. How did they do it without being seen? I guess everyone on their Christmas will be receiving a bra for Christmas. LOL

oh that's funny! Everyone on my Christmas list is probably going to get Home and Garden. I had an awesome party and spent most of my free money bucks on gifts for others. I did get some pretty great art for the walls of my office.

They are guessing that the underwear will show up on ebay or one of the other auction sites.
I love your doggie.
What is his/her name?
Is it a pomeranian? We have a yorkie/chihuahua mix.

She must be a fast changer. I hope they did not try to sell them, because then a whole lot of women are going to be unpleasantly surprised when they try to get off the little plastic things. Don't those little plastic things squirt out ink if they are cut by something other than what is used to cut them when they are at the store's till?

Some of them have dye packs, and others you simply can't get off without the special machine. That's why I said earlier that I think it would have to have been someone who works at either that store, or another clothing store with a similiary type of security device. Why did the alarm not go off? Where were the cameras? These are both questions that I would like to see answered.

I guess so. I just went to Ebay. I'm floored at the junk you can buy on there these days. Who buys this stuff?
I'm quoting...gently worn bras-victorias secret size 38. tags and inside of elastic are faded.

If it was a girl, thats a shame. Come on, just buy the garments every now and then, don't get greedy.
If it was a guy... uh... Some would say he rules, I still say "that boy ain't quite right".
And yes, how in the world did someone steal all that stuff, seemingly effortlessly and getting away scott free!? Security cameras anyone?

I still think it was an inside job. I think that in order to get away with that much merchandise, you would have to have an employee helping you or simply looking the other way.
