Some sorority girls are regretting leaving their windows unlocked after a man snuck in to steal their underwear. According to the news report, the man had entered through an open window and was caught sitting on the end of one of the sorority girl’s bed at around 2 a.m. Immediately, the police were called and the man was caught and arrested on the balcony. Apparently at some point while he was in the house, he took some of the girls’ underwear and put them on under his clothes. He was wearing them when he arrived at the jail. After his arrest, he was also identified as the man who had dropped his pants and exposed himself earlier in the evening. He was charged with 2nd Degree Burglary for the panty raid and Indecent Exposure for dropping his trousers.
