Bras and knickers appear like magic

Dodgy tales of underwear going missing off lines in the dead of night are old-hat.

Far more curious is the suburban phenomenon of random knickers and bras suddenly appearing on a line overnight - which has perplexed the residents of Ronald Ct, Pukete, New Zealand.

Weird things started happening in the cul-de-sac about three weeks ago when Dave Lattimore planted a new front lawn and erected lines with plastic bags across it to keep the birds off.



A few nights later a pair of black female knickers appeared, pegged to the line.

Gradually, all sorts of unmentionables were added in the dead of night, until the street front at No 26 now looks like an ad from an Elle Macpherson catalogue. The range includes a black suspender belt, pink g-string, corset and 40C white bra.

Neighbour Roy Wood is also bemused. "People must walk past and drop their knickers," he said. "They're like that around here."
