Roxanne, 65, said: "It’s left me gutted. I help somebody out and they go and do this to me. If she’d asked for them I’d have given them to her but she didn’t - she stole them. What gets me is she said she never wears suspender belts or things like that so why did she take them? The corsets were all brand new, all black and I’d only worn one of them. One of them she took was a nice all-in-one with flowers on it."
Roxanne shared her fold-out bed with the thief for a week but says she feels no animosity towards her and just wants her clothes back. Roxanne, a former Army Gunner in the Royal Artillery who used to be known as Doug, added: "I was born in the wrong body. I was married 21 years then I thought the grass was greener on the other side. It wasn't bad for that time but something went wrong and then I thought I will be what I want to be now." Roxanne, who has four daughters aged 41, 40, 39 and 25, claims police did not take the incident seriously when she reported it.
She said: "According to the sergeant, they can’t nick her because nobody saw what happened." Roxanne is hoping to have have full sexual reassignment surgery done on the NHS later this year and says she will be "very relieved" when it's done. She said: "My family haven't got anything bad to say about it, it's down to me. They don't mind and it's nothing to do with them really. My middle daughter says 'it's down to you Dad - it's your life and your body'." The Metroplitan police have confirmed they are investigating an allegation of theft. No arrests have been made.
