Some thieves have a penchant for the strangest things.
Residents in Yulin city, Guangxi province, were treated to a colourful array of more than 2,000 sets of women’s lingerie laid out neatly on the ground at a public space in their neighbourhood on Saturday.
The used underwear, which belonged to women in the neighbourhood, had been stolen by a male resident over the course of the year, news website Gxnew.com.cn reported.
The report said the man hid the stolen lingerie above the false ceiling of several stairwells within the residential building where he lived.

His perverse deed was uncovered only when one of the stairwells’ ceilings gave way under the weight of his loot, and several bras and underpants came tumbling down.
Investigators lined the lingerie neatly outside the building to count just how many articles the man had stolen.
The Guangxi man wasn’t the only thief with a preference for women’s underwear.
A 22-year-old man was caught in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, last month for stealing 17 pairs of women’s underpants and lingerie in one day. That same month, another man was caught in Hubei province for stealing two women’s underwear and donning them himself.
