To ask if you have ever had your knickers nicked?

[Pantless]

NC for this out of pure old-fashioned embarrassment
Two weeks running now some freak disturbed individual has stolen all my knickers off the washing line
Whilst this is funny it is also very annoying as I loved my knickers! And have to make an emergency run to M and S in the morning as I now have only one pair of knickers left in the world!
DH just asked me if this is a "common problem for women" (?!) so please comfort me in my hour of need by sharing your own stories of nicked knickers. If you feel strong enough that is

Bum(p)

An old boyfriend stole mine (urgh, used!) And showed all his housemates. I should have taken that as a sign of what kind of person he was. Like an idiot I stayed with him for 4 years.

Sometimes cats will steal things. Maybe set a camera up :)

The dog had a brief stealing spell.

I live in a very friendly street and since we got doodlepup 2 weeks ago have had children and adults hanging round our gate for a play. I went for a shower and pup sneaked in, whipped my old knickers off the floor and made a beeline for the garden. And now the neighbours know I wear owl pants. (pretty sure you mean human thieves tho. Cant help with that I'm afraid!)

Never

I used to live in a coronation street type house with a small back yard.
There was a problem with someone going along the back ally and pinching knickers from the back yards. The person at the end of the terrace caught him! Police offered us the knickers back - we declined.

No but if they did get nicked I'd probably see them being used as a sail or a tent. :(

All the dirty pet owners are out tonight!

Many many years ago a neighbour was caught in the act - some of mine had been nicked earlier.

He was sent to prison and moved away when released, sick fucker.

Yes!the infamous Chesham knicker-knicker had mine several times. Bastard ??

Years ago I was a competitive swimmer, we used to train every evening at a school pool, several times we'd all go back into the changing rooms and all the girls knickers would be gone. We were mostly young teen girls.

We thought it was funny but i now understand why we weren't allowed to go into the changing rooms without one of the strapping lads checking it out first.

Pipbin at police offering them back!
DH persuaded me it was my civic duty to call the police and then giggled supportively throughout. I have just had a call from them saying there has been a spate of these and they are starting door to door enquiries in the morning! Not sure how they will know which pants are mine as they have not asked for any descriptions so far.

My old neighbour was caught nicking washing as well , never saw him again after his arrest , asked if I wanted my clothes back , no thanks .

Corgiology I have questioned the cat already. She's saying nothing.

Yes! Out of my suitcase while I was staying in a B and B. My best pair. I'm sure it was the creepy barman-

It's disgusting how common this seems to be, how it's another thing, as women, we have to accept. Fucking creeps.

Yup. Similar to another posted, 20+ years ago I lived in a terrace with an alley at the back, fenced off 'yard' (6ft fence, no gate). Came home one Sunday night and went to take washing in and thought it was odd that I'd left empty pegs on the line, cos I never did that. Then I realised that all my underwear was gone. Was gutted because it was all my best stuff!

I shared the house with a policewoman and she begged me not to report it because of the amount of paperwork involved and suggested that I really wouldn't want them back anyway - good point, well made. She also said don't be surprised if you do get them back through the letterbox. Apparently it's quite common. That was Swindon although I've since moved counties several times.

TinLizzie I hope the moving counties several times was not for fear of them re-appearing through the door

Thanks for the laugh!

Some years back, I had to deal indirectly with some going missing from several different washing lines in the same area. The man was subsequently jailed for ....... other offences. I don't know whether the knickers were returned.

That is grim, my sympathies.

I went to boarding school and there was a girl there who used to steal knickers. She was found out with a massive pile of them under her bed. I can't comment on how normal it is, I'm too screwed up by boarding school myself :). (I wasn't the knicker thief.)

It happened to me when I was a student.

The worst thing was that the thief took them all apart from one pair and I became obsessed about what might have been wrong with that pair. They were green, though, tbf

My ex stole my knickers and kept them in a locked briefcase so I couldn't get them back (sad perv). I should just have tossed the briefcase!

No but my dog nicks socks. He will go in open back doors and straight for the dirty laundry. He can't reach washing lines.
