Sometimes the headlines just write themselves, don't they?

A 28-year-old man has been arrested for stealing bras in a town called Bra, Italy.

Apparently, the man wouldn't steal just any set of bras. His preferred choice of the undergarment were the fetishist kinds, the costlier and fancier the better. According to The Local, the unnamed suspect had a house full of women's undergarments. La Repubblica said there were hundreds of ladies undergarments at his residence.

The 28-year-old man, who hails from Pocopaglia carried out a series of balcony raids across town making off with loads of undergarments.

The man is currently under house arrest.

The man also has a previous record of harassment towards a former girlfriend.

Interestingly, this is the first time that the town of Bra has been hit by a bra thief, though Italy has witnessed such incidents earlier also.

Last year, a 74-year-old man was arrested for stealing bras worth 200 Euros - from a supermarket, not ladies' balconies.
