Man stole underwear from laundromat

Surveillance camera footage catches a Fukuoka prefecture man stealing women’s underwear from the machines at a laundromat:

The owners of the laundromat managed to write down his license place number, which led police to his home. There, they found some 450 articles of women’s undergarments. Apparently wanting to showcase the importance of this case, the police carefully put all the underwear on display for the media (a standard practice, apparently).

I feel sorry for the police officer who was put in charge of
counting all 450 panties.

Perhaps the police can donate the panties for a good cause?
(for example, donate them to the earthquake victims in Haiti?)

what would the panty thief think if some of the 450 panties
belonged to grandmas? (worse yet, his own grandma?)
