This is Just Weird

I live across from the coin laundry in our park. I wait for a time of day when it is not busy and go across the street and put my clothes in the washer. Then, I go home and come back to put them in the dryer. Then I go home and come back when it is done.
The other day, all my bras were missing from the dryer. This is not the first time this has happened. I remember it happening last year too. It only happens when the northerners come south for the winter.
Why is this happening? Is someone stalking me? This is just weird.

It's creepy to know that someone, whoever they were, went through your stuff in the running dryer - and just the bras ? It feels like we can't keep anything nice anymore - but geez, bras too - are people that desperate that they have to steal those too? I don't get it either!

We used to have to use the laundry mat and I would stay, I often seen people getting clothes out of dryers and then later see someone else come in and get those clothes, I did not know they were stealing.

@Shivram59 Wow, at least you will get them on camera if they try it again.

That's terrible! Can you claim it on your insurance? Is there a camera where one can check what's going on?

@1hopefulman It is really annoying but it is worrisome. There are a lot of mentally unbalanced people and you never know what they are thinking. That part worries me the most. If a woman needs clothes, I have a credit card. I will take her to Walmart and let her pick out a reasonable amount of clothing of her choice.

I think this is very easy to figure out, Jo Ann. It seems obvious to me that the gentleman who was looking for his "shirt" in your clean laundry was actually looking to increase his selection of fine wearables. You must not have had any bras that were new and exciting to him that day.

That IS weird. Who goes around stealing bras? Were they alone in a dryer, or did someone have to pick them out?

@cindiowens Yes, but no one ever watches it.

@akalinus Do they have a security camera in there?

That is very strange and why would you only take bras.

@hillhjill The one doing it only does it during snowbird season. So I know it is someone from one of the cold states up north.

@akalinus Still wondering why it only happens when the northerners come down, maybe it was a girl on the run and didn't have anything but why only underclothes. Makes you really wonder.

Some years ago I was using a public laundry room. One day there was a handwritten note on the door. It said: "Who stole my bras? I want them back" I never found out who the thief was, but I started drying my bras in my apartment instead of using the dryer.

@akalinus I think it is a good idea to dry them in your home. I sometimes saw expensive clothes in the laundry room I was using, but the thief didn't take them. He or she only took the bras.

@Porcospino I hate to think about why they want them.

I would never keep my things in a public place. Anyone can rob those clothes

@allknowing I don't have a washer but might buy a portable one for everyday stuff. Would still have to go across the street to dry them though.

I'm sorry you lost all your bras. That can be a huge expense.

That is really weird. I wonder who is doing this. Maybe someone likes the type and size of the bras you wear and finds it cheaper than buying their own.
