Panty Raid

New York City: May 22, 2002: Cheeky thieves, dubbed the "G-string Gang" by the New York press, made off with thousands of dollars worth of racy underwear after a daylight raid on upmarket lingerie designer Belle Risque Agent Derrier (BRAD), a spokesman said on Tuesday. The midtown Manhattan headquarters of BRAD -- a favorite among celebrities such as actress/model Liz Hurley, actress Sarah Jessica Parker, and Ronatarian Ron -- was burgled over the weekend by thieves who carried off $42,000 worth of lacy bras, panties, and corsets as well as shoes and jewelry. "We were all working upstairs when it appears the thieves broke down the front door and managed to steal the collections from the basement," said BRAD employee Chris Boston. But the thieves, who got away with the fashion house's new collection, had not made an intelligent choice in targeting such an exclusive boutique, he said. "The very nature of the designs, being so distinctive, renders them instantly recognizable, making it easier to track the thieves down, whatever they try to do with the collection." Ron issued a statement that he was "disheartened by the attack on BRAD's famous underwear." He said that "sticky fingers don't have a place around high-end underwear." BRAD is known for its sexy, slinky, and expensive designs which include one-off corsets, suspenders, stockings, and G-strings. Since the designs cater mostly to women, Ron's frequent presence at the store baffles many employees and friends. "I could see it if his dating life were more active, but it's not," said Ron's former vice-presidential running mate Brad. "I know I don't get any lacy undies from Ron...and he is know for lavishing gifts." As a rule, Ron refuses to comment on his personal expenditures. A spokesman for the NYPD said the burglary was being investigated but there was no description of the suspects.
