Underwear Thief Targets Ole Miss Women

A dozen times in recent months, police in Oxford, Miss. have received reports of a thief breaking into apartments of University of Mississippi female students and stealing their underwear, The Memphis Commercial-Appeal reported. While the panty raids of the 50s were frequently orchestrated with the participation of all involved, these thefts are being taken seriously. Authorities are encouraging Ole Miss women to mix up their routines and not follow the same routes, since all of the break-ins have been when the women were not home, suggesting that the thief may be watching the women or be aware of their activities.
