The following crime incident gives us the opportunity to act as a “fly upon a wall” witnessing the actions of a fetishist as he engages in his obsessive quest.
Suppose a male burglar breaks into your home and searches the joint, sleuthing around, opening drawers, looking for something. (All of this is captured on video by your home security system.) The burglar is very deliberate and gives the impression that he may be looking for something very specific — diamonds perhaps, a money stash, maybe a will or stock certificates… He does not appear to be a drug addict looking for anything that isn’t nailed down which can be fenced for quick cash. Then suppose that the burglar who appears to be somewhat overweight and appears to waddle a bit opens up a drawer and pulls out a pair of your girlfriend’s drawers (panties). Then suppose this same determined panty thief very deliberately pulls your girlfriend’s panties on over his jeans and then proceeds to sleuth some more wandering around the crib, looking just a bit like Superman with his well-padded “Superman panties” worn over his tights.
Then just before exiting, our awkward panty thief steals your girlfriend’s picture off a table and pops it into his goody bag. The whole escapade is recorded in grainy black and white. There is no sound, just the thief’s movements captured on video.
Weird, huh? Maybe even a bit creepy, or a lot creepy.
Then suppose you are the boyfriend or the girlfriend victim. What would you do with the video evidence? Well, of course you would turn it over to the police in the hope they would arrest the weirdo. But that’s not all you would do. Like any self-respecting user of social media you would also post the surveillance video on You Tube. Of course you would…
Andy Campbell of Huff Post Weird News reports:
He didn’t take any valuables, but he did try on the unmentionables.
A Chicago man says he was terrified to learn that a burglar wore his girlfriend’s panties and stole a picture of her before fleeing. The creepy crawler was caught on surveillance camera at 12:45 a.m. on Sept. 25, rummaging through Steve Fremond’s belongings. The victim posted the security footage to YouTube.
“The guy didn’t take any valuables that we know of,” Fremond told 9 News.
“My initial reaction to seeing it was mostly disbelief, but once it sank in, I was a little scared,” he said. “My girlfriend was very scared, though. If you look towards the end of the video you could see him take the picture of her off of the table.”
According to UPI, to date no arrest has been made.
