Police in Bungo-ono, Oita Prefecture, have arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of stealing women’s underwear from a coin-operated laundromat. 

Police said that when they searched the residence of Toru Adachi, a company employee, on Monday, they found about 1,100 items of female undergarments in bags and futon cases. 

Adachi is suspected of stealing 10 panties from a coin laundromat in Oita City in April. He was identified through analysis of surveillance camera footage inside the laundromat. 

Police said Adachi has admitted to the charge and are questioning him about at least 10 incidents of reported panty snatching in the area this year.

He has too much time on his hands.

I'm guessing it's not time he has on his hands.

May be he just could not afford to buy a futon and worked out a way to make one out of panties intead?

It is funny how people react to stories like this. 1000 is a decent collection, but certainly not a rarity by any means.

What I don’t get is why would anybody want to steal clean panties!? The desirable window is after they’ve been worn, but before they are washed.

It's a fact that the scent of a woman in a worn undies cannot be washed away. So you understand now.?

There many more but 2 other common reasons why an undies fetish won't buy new ones even if he can effort them.

1) an association between a female body and her undies.

2) those appealing ones made from soft and tender materials that resemble the body part cannot be purchased easily.

I have seen enough patients to reveal this facts to you.

Yeah, a sex offender is really funny. Not so funny for the victims.
