Used bra theft puzzels Zuid-Holland residents

A woman in Nieuwe Wetering is now 13 bras poorer after a mysterious thief stole them from a washing line in a backyard on Achterweg, Omroep West reports. The strange theft has local residents baffled. The most prominent question seems to be what the thief needed 13 bras for. This question is closely followed by who has 13 bras? And why hang them up outside to dry? Most residents seem to find the situation rather funny and are not too concerned about it.
