Panty Bandit Strikes Palm Springs Lingerie Store

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (CBS) ― A lingerie shop in downtown Palm Springs was robbed of approximately $5,000 worth of corsets, g-strings, bustiers and other garments, in what the owner said was the second hit on her store in recent days.

"He cleaned me out of my Hustler line, all my crotchless panties, g-strings, corsets and bustiers and costumes," said Bonnie Reiss, owner of Sensuality, A Store for Her.

Reiss, who said she had just finished stocking merchandise for Valentine's Day, said a security camera captured the robber moving the lingerie from the store at 134 La Plaza around 1 a.m.

"When I arrived this morning, the store was a complete mess," she said. "He knew what he wanted."

Palm Springs police have not commented on the theft.

According to Reiss, the robber in the security video appeared be in his 20s, with blond hair in a crew cut. She said he left his fleece jacket and skateboard behind.

This is the second time in about a week that the store was robbed of pricey lingerie, according to Reiss, who added that she thought the same man was responsible.

"He took some specific cute little things," she said. "He's either got a petite little girlfriend or he's going to sell it."
