From Wednesday’s New York Daily News.
A “panty cam” under an upper East Side subway grate has proved a bust.
The camera, planted at 88th St. and Lexington Ave., wasn’t set up properly, a police source said yesterday. The only images found on the device were old, grainy pictures of a school recital. Nothing sexual.
No one has been arrested, but police are focusing on subcontractors doing electrical work at the site, the source said. “It’s not a stretch to think these guys are there and one of them brings a gizmo from home and says, ‘Hey, we can plant this thing and maybe catch a woman without underwear,'” he said.
OK, now my mind is well and truly blown. There are women walking around Manhattan without underwear? And the police are hunting for someone who was unsuccessful in taking their pictures?
Surely the Daily News could step up and establish a fund to purchase underthings for those not fortunate enough to possess a pair.
