SUNDAY BURGLAR

VIS'TS LINGERIE SHOP. AUCKLAND, October 19. An Indian sari and £3O worth ot hand-tailored women’s underwear was the choice of' somebody who-broke into a shop in Kitchener Street, opposite Albert Park, last’night, A glass panel on the front door, near the patent lock, was smashed, and the thief put his hand through and opened the lock from the inside. He made a careful selection, and stole complete sets of underwear of the same size. This gives the impression that the thief went to the shop with the definite object of providing dainty underwear for someone else. A scene of disarray greeted Miss Pamela Sinclair when she arrived, at her shop this morning. The contents on show in one window had vanished, and some of the other garments from the opposite window had been taken. j Miss Sinclair’s loss is all the greater] as the garments were of original de- 1 sign and made to, order for customers. Her greatest loss was a tunic suit, designed along Mandarin lines, fashioned from a-hand-spun and hand woven gold-bordered sari, which she brought from India. j “Whoever the thief was, lie got a ( complete range of everything a woman desires in the way, of lingerie,” said Miss Sinclair.
