Burglar breaks into house, steals woman's clothes and .... Jeez

Police in Wigan appealed for information about a burglar who broke into a house, stole a woman's clothes, and dressed up in the garden. Whereupon he pleasured himself.

Some people might not give this case a second glance, but I would. The police describe the incident as Unusual. It's a bit more than that, officer.

It takes nerves of steel to be a burglar.

You risk someone seeing you breaking in, or being confronted by residents, alarms, neighbours and dogs.

It takes a warped mindset to target a particular property because you fancy the clothes of the woman who lives there. Did he follow her, just to see where she lived? Did he follow her for a few days to check out her style?

And finally, it is chilling how the burglar stayed within the bounds of the property to perform a sex act.

The man is a real and present danger. No wonder that the occupant and her family are distressed and beside themselves.

Holy cow.

Part of our washing line is visible to the road and we get a lot of walkers going by. I've been having a mental argument with myself all summer that I'm completely paranoid and massively overreacting to only peg out my husband's clothes or my (unisex) martial arts kit on that part of the line, not mine or the kids'.

Perhaps not so paranoid, after all.

"Unusual burglary" is going to become a legal term, isn't it?

For a man breaking into a woman's home, stealing her clothes and wanking into them? Because we can't actually say what's happened so we need terms like "unusual burglary".

I wonder why GMP are so convinced that it was a man.

I mean, what makes them so sure?

I'm hoping that they are not just going on the semen on the clothes and making crass assumptions?

I'm sure I read somewhere years ago it was quite common for burglars to rifle through underwear drawers and/or defecate/piss in them?

That kind of boundary breaking and invasion of intimate spaces is taking on a new dimension now...

Let me get this straight.

the dude broke in, took women's clothes, tried them on, wanked wearing them, and the police suspect it's sexually motivated?

ToeToToe · 09/08/2018 19:31

Police say it "may" have been sexually motivated.

Really - you think?!

Why are sexual crimes and violations of women downplayed like this Angry

Unusual - this shit isn't unusual. It's a sexual fetish that we're all becoming far more familiar with than we'd like.

IncrediblySturdyPyjamas · 09/08/2018 19:31

So this man we can call a man because he just dresses up in women's clothes and wanks...but we can't...erm...call...

erm...oh dear.

How many times can one peak in a lifetime? I think I've peaked, and then whoops, peaked again!

Another open and shut case of stunning and brave.

What the actual fuck?

The more times men brag about getting away with terrorizing women the more men take courage from the stories and terrorize women. The social contagion of crimes against women.

Waiting for the TRAs to speak up for him. Like they did for Marie Dean, a near identical case.
