Panty Raid

I doubt you'll believe me when I tell you this....someone stole my underwear as it was drying, from our second story balcony. I kid you not.

Yesterday morning I went out to retrieve the laundry left drying over night. My sheets, tops and skirt all hung neatly on the lines awaiting. But I looked down to gather my unmentionables from the drying rack...hung there as to be out of direct view from the old folks home or parking lot...and out of the direct wind...but only my bra remained.

One dozen pairs of panties...snatched. And the clothespins that held them arranged in one neat little row...not in the configuration I had left them in.

I asked the roommate is she brought them in for any particularly reason...nope, they had already been missing when she'd gone out to do laundry of her own. Nor had either of our two occasional visitors taken them...though that would warrant some serious explaining on their end...

Who scales a second story balcony to stealing someone else's underwear! I am more than a little perturbed...

I was going to say are you sure it was the wind or a stray cat - that I could see if it were one or two but 12 pair!? Yikes. If anything else goes missing I would consider reporting it. I don't want to sound like an alarmist but that is creepy. I hope it was just a prank and that you don't have a sicko stalker...

Me also... at first, I must admit I smiled a bit at the idea of someone lifting a lone pair of panties flying in the wind...but as your tail progressed to include 12 pairs, and the arranged clothespins.... keep the balcony and windows closed. And your pepper spray close.... A worry wart auntie

a ninja cat with a fetish for lady underwear? scary!

Ditto keep the pepper spray close...and if anyone calls wanting ransom, call the cops!
