| 2011-03-30 |
| [Straits Times] AFTER a report earlier this month that someone was getting cheap thrills from stealing panties and bras left to dry outside several homes here, residents in nearby Ulu Tiram have complained that they are also finding their undergarments missing. However, The ever-popular However... their initial suspicion that a sexual predator was at work turned out to be wrong when they discovered that the actual culprits were crows which have been stealing the lingerie to build their nests. Not only that. The birds also steal scraps of food and leave their droppings all over the neighbourhood in several housing and business areas in the town. Resident Simon Lee, 38, claimed that more than 20 people in his neighbourhood had lost their undergarments in the last two months. He said that initially the problem was not that serious. 'But now, thousands of crows have made their homes in the trees that line the roads here,' he said. Another resident, Goh Sui Moi, 46, said she had to wash her car daily because of the droppings from the thousands of crows that also make a lot of noise when they converge. |
