Anthony Robinson, better known as the "underwear burglar," was arrested again for allegedly pilfering a cache of bras and panties from a Union Square Victoria's Secret.

The Examiner reports that the 55-year-old lingerie aficionado went on his own personal shopping spree at least four times since he was released from jail for the same crime in February. Capt. Garret Tom told the newspaper on Tuesday that Robinson allegedly went to the store on April 25, April 29, and again on May 12 to steal underwear.

He then made another trip back to Victoria's Secret on May 20 at about 3:30 p.m. where he grabbed 15 bras and four pairs of underwear, totaling $444.24.

He was busted by security guards that time and has since been charged with multiple counts of burglary. No word on what Robinson did with the stolen panties -- and we don't really want to know either.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
