Manuel Loja Allegedly Stole Baltimore Woman's Underwear, Then Sent Taunting Messages

What's more creepy: Having a stranger steal your underwear or knowing the creepy thief who's doing it?

The Baltimore Sun is reporting that a 35-year-old man allegedly broke into a woman's home on Feb 2, stealing her thong, a gold necklace, some cash, and other items. He then supposedly texted pictures of the ill-gotten undies.

Police tell ABC-2 News that Manuel Loja -- a man the victim knew -- had given the woman some of the jewelry that he is charged with pilfering on his panty raid.

"The woman started getting taunting text messages and pictures of her underwear and then she realized... She knew the person who was sending her the text messages. " Baltimore City Police Detective Nicole Monroe told the Baltimore TV station.

"It was someone who she befriended and also the person who gave her the jewelry."

The woman arranged to meet the man, UPI reports. He showed up with some of his stolen items, and she brought police, who charged him on counts of burglary, theft and destruction of property.

Well like we used to say on the force, if it weren't for dumb criminals we wouldn't have a job.

One of my sons is a country musician. Played a lot of bars. Sometimes, I'd be his designated driver to get him home after one of his gigs. One night, after I dropped him on the couch to let him sleep off a hard night, I took his jacket to hang it up. I felt a wad of something in the inside. I pulled it out, and found six pairs of women's panties, all in different sizes.

The next morning, I confronted him with them when I brought him a cup of strong coffee.

"Oh, those things," he said. "Women throw 'em at us when they get drunk."

"I see," I said. "And you put them in your pockets because ..."

"... I don't want to hurt their feelings?"

I didn't say anything else. I just put them in the laundry and washed them and then dropped them off at Goodwill Industries ...

...and then I bought them at Goodwill and put them in my jacket pocket, and the thong circle of life is complete.

Yay strange panties!

One of my renters years ago went to jail after the police discovered meth at his residence. When I got the property back I discovered that he had placed a fake wall in his closet. When I removed the wall, I found a bunch of women's underwear and a large stack of nothing but foot pornography. Too bad for him he didn't hide his drugs as carefully.

He took back things he bought her. jewelry, and panties.He was wrong for braking in her house. Was he a trick? just saying........

Why would you assume he was a trick? Is that what you do?

I didn't say he was her trick. He gave her a gift thinking he could use her.She did the right thing by calling the police. As for me, I'm financially stable where I don't have to take cheap jewelry from scrubs.

He tried to amend the situation by stealing another pair of panties, but it didn't work--because two thongs don't make a right.
