A laundromat panty thief was arrested in Japan. If you're missing undies, this might explain where they went!

This is one reason to be careful when you're out in public doing your laundry. You never know when something might go missing. Now, that something might be left behind on accident without you knowing. Or it could be taken on purpose and that's what seems to be happening here. It happened in Osaka, Japan where a 44-year-old man has been accused of stealing women's undies from a local laundromat. Might be time to get a washer and dryer installed in your private residence.

Missing Undies? Laundromat Panty Thief Arrested In Japan

According to Japan Today, Mitsuru Toyonaga allegedly attempted to take 4 pairs of women's underwear from a laundromat. However, he was caught and once in custody he confessed to having taken women's underwear around 100 times, per Japan Today.

However, a search of his home found much more than that. Japan Today says law enforcement found 450 pieces of women's underwear (all sorted by color) in a chest of drawers. That means he took the time to organize them! He must really have a passion for these undies. It would be so violating realizing your underwear was taken by some dude at the laundromat. Hopefully he got them while they were clean and fresh out of the wash.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
