Saucy undies leave thieves exposed

In this age of stay up stockings, and fake tans, is pantyhose becoming more difficult to find in the shops...?

A pair of thieves became infamous in Colorado, USA, recently, when they robbed a shop wearing women's g-strings (or thongs) over their faces, rather than a mask - or the more common disguise - a pair of 'natural tan' coloured pantyhose.

Unfortunately, the racy undies, which were designed to be revealing, exposed rather too much of the men's faces, for them to remain anonymous. The 'thong bandits' as they were nicknamed, turned themselves in, when CCTV pictures of their exploits were broadcast across Colorado.

It turns out that not only were the men wearing blue and green g-strings respectively, they carried their booty away in a neon pink rucksack. Perhaps the local branch of Victoria's Secrets should do a stock check too.
