RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - If someone offers you frilly women's lingerie on the street, call police. Thieves have stolen almost $35,000 worth of underwear, perfume and other merchandise from Victoria's Secret stores in the Raleigh area since March, police said. Law enforcement officials have no suspects and said it's unlikely the thieves are stealing for personal use. A store in the Triangle Town Center in Raleigh reported nearly $20,000 in missing merchandise between March and June, while stores in Durham and Cary reported losses of almost $13,000 and $4,000, respectively. The thieves seem to work in groups of three, with...

Man tries to smuggle bird eggs in undies Mon Jul 17, 5:24 PM ET SYDNEY, Australia - A man caught with six eggs from endangered species in his underwear as he was preparing to fly to Bangkok was fined 25,000 Australian dollars ($20,000) Monday by a judge who rejected his claim that he only wanted to surprise his girlfriend. Wayne Frederick Floyd pleaded guilty in February to exporting regulated native specimens without a permit or exemption, an offense that carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Although Judge Martin Sides called it a commercial venture, he said he didn't mandate jail...

THERE'S been a lot of, um, movement in men's underwear lately. It seems Australian men are no longer content to pick between boxers, Y-fronts or Calvins. With new technical innovations and designs, it seems they are enjoying a little experimentation. "Australian men have always been a bit more adventurous with their underwear," said Paul Gould, general manager for Bonds. "At every point that we've given them something new, they've really lapped it up." Next up is the Bonds Everyday Active range, with cotton-Coolmax fabric that draws moisture away from the skin. Pat Rafter will be donning the tightie whities in...

SOUTH TOLEDO -- A south Toledo man is using a replica of the Statue of Liberty to let the world know his thoughts on illegal immigration. Art Bollinger says he got this idea from an e-mail he received, and decided to duplicate the picture. From the front, you can see the Statue of Liberty. From behind, it shows Lady Liberty's behind, in a thong bikini. The nearby sign says "Kiss my American Ass." Bollinger tells News 11 he will accept anyone into this country as long as they come here legally, but he has no patience for those who sneak...

When it comes to boxers versus briefs, I got some rather interesting insight from a firefighter friend of mine. According to him it seems to be 50/50. At the fire station boxers are apparently worn more by younger guys and guys 60 and over. Briefs (and not the good kind I might add) are typically worn by men between the ages of 40 and 60. Whether boxers, briefs or anything in between, underwear has come a long way in recent years. Men aren't always quick to pick up on the subtleties of their choice of underwear. Some guys need just...

FIVE days without a mobile phone and 10 days without a washing machine. I could have used the landline phone but it was buried somewhere beneath the dirty laundry. I'd hear it ringing occasionally, sandwiched between the shirts and socks, but was unable to locate it. Granny, I kept reminding myself as I awaited the arrival of my washing machine, managed quite well without one, preferring instead to light a fire under a large copper tub every Monday morning and then proceed to boil the life out of the laundry for several hours. I contemplated setting up a copper boiler...
