PORT MORESBY – Police in Papua New Guinea are reported to be sniffing out the culprits who have been stealing women’s underwear from luggage being carried the national carrier Air Niugini.
Baggage handlers are under suspicion of nicking the knickers.
AAP reports that four women, who wish to remain nameless, said their best undergarments were stolen from luggage when travelling on domestic flights leaving the capital Port Moresby.
One tourist said her bag’s lock was broken and the only item missing were g-strings and lace hipster briefs.
“I could not believe it. I was shocked, it’s just too creepy,” she said.
“I have travelled all around the world and this is the first time something like this has happened,” she said.
Another woman discovered her pink panties were gone.
“What makes it weirder is that I had much more valuable items to steal than my underpants,” she said.
Another woman said Air Niugini had asked for a statuary declaration and receipts as proof when offering compensation for the stolen items.
“I was in the Highlands, Mt Hagen, of all the places in PNG, and had to ask the police for a stat dec to claim payment from Air Niugini for the lost items,” she said.
Air Niugini officials said they would get to the bottom of the issue.
