HEBRON, Ky. (AP) — A warehouse worker has been accused of pilfering high-end lingerie worth nearly $15,000 after his ex-girlfriend snitched on him, a newspaper reported.
Investigators say a manager stole Victoria's Secret lingerie from a warehouse where he worked near Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, the Kentucky Enquirer reported.
L. Perry, 24, of Villa Hills, Ky., has not been seen since he was charged with one count of receiving stolen property, authorities said. He did not return to work and his phone has been disconnected.
His estranged girlfriend, Elizabeth Gibbs, called police Jan. 31 to report that Perry was lifting lingerie from Advanced Distributions Services in Hebron, court records show.
She led detectives to a hotel room where the lingerie was stashed, the records show. The merchandise, now sitting in a police evidence locker, was of almost every style and size carried by the store.
"We believe he was just approaching people on the street" to sell the items, Kenton County Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said. "These are the kind of cases that keep this job amusing."

LOSANTVILLE, Ind. (AP) — A cat found half-frozen in a water trough is recovering, but may lose his tail.
Melissa Jones said she found the cat Tuesday when she stepped onto her porch for a cigarette. His tail and hind legs were stuck in about three inches of ice. She and her husband used buckets of hot water to free him.
"His little ears are droopy and purple and so are his little feet," Jones said, adding that his new nickname is "Droopy."
In the morning, she took the seven-month-old yellow and white tiger cat to a veterinarian, where he was given an antibiotic. The vet recommended a regimen of warm water and foot and tail massages to help its circulation, but still may lose its tail.
Jones says the family will probably keep the cat indoors from now on.

ABINGTON, Mass. (AP) — Trying to get something done at town hall can be a pain, one local woman says for her it was literally.
Joanne Harding broke a tooth on a Tootsie Roll she took from a candy jar in the town clerk's office in Abington Town Hall last month during a visit to get a license for her dog.
Now, Harding wants the town to help pay her $4,000-$5,000 dental bill.
"I took the candy, so it's partially my fault," the 40-year-old Harding told the Patriot Ledger of Quincy. "I wouldn't have taken it if it wasn't there."
Town Manager Phillip Warren Jr. forwarded Harding's request for financial assistance to the town's insurance carrier.
"We'll wait to see what the insurance company says," he said.
Meanwhile, the candy jars are still there at the clerk's office.

BUCKLEY, Wash. (AP) — Pierce County sheriff's deputies were startled when they entered a house near here during a drug bust and found- an alligator.
"It's alarming in that it's big enough and its mouth looked big enough, that if it were to bite it would definitely do some serious damage," sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said of the 4-foot-long alligator.
Sheriff's officers said they believed the alligator belonged to one of two men arrested in Friday's raid. He will also face investigation for illegal possession of an exotic animal as well as drug allegations.
As for the alligator, deputies contacted animal services, which turned it over to an animal rescue group called Predators of the Heart. A rescue group representative said the alligator was in good condition.
Mom Allegedly Leaves Kids in Car to TanFriday, February 9, 2007 10:02 PM EST

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Sheboygan police arrested a woman after she allegedly left her two children in a freezing car for 20 minutes while she went tanning.
The 27-year-old woman was arrested after two people spotted the children, ages 23 months and 10 years, in the car, the police department said in a news release. The vehicle was locked but not running.
Officers responding to the scene Wednesday evening were approached by the children's parents. The father met the mother at the tanning salon and was arguing with her about why the children were in the car, police said.
The children were dressed warmly, but they had "goose bumps" from the cold, the release said. They did not require medical attention.
The temperature at the time was 12 degrees, with a wind chill index of about minus 2 degrees.
The woman could be charged Friday with two counts of misdemeanor child neglect, police said.
"She said she was going on vacation and felt that the tanning was a priority," Lt. Jeff Johnston said Friday.
