A Dorset postman was caught wearing stolen women's underwear after his bosses became suspicious that packages were going missing, a court heard.
Matthew Furness, 35, from Weymouth, admitted two charges of stealing postal packages belonging to Royal Mail, on 1 October and 6 December last year.
Furness was caught wearing a woman's thong taken from a parcel, after a sting operation carried out by postal chiefs, when a bra and a thong, worth £49, were planted in his postbag with the wrong address.
The court heard when Furness was asked to strip by police looking for the missing underwear, he was found to be wearing the thong.
The bra has never been found, the hearing heard.
Ian Brazier, defending, told the court that Furness was an "opportunist" rather than a sophisticated thief and that he was undergoing counselling. He will be sentenced after reports and was given unconditional bail.
