The dryer can't be blamed for eating these socks and undies.

Rusty Wayne Sills, 46, of Des Moines, was charged Thursday with fifth-degree theft for allegedly stealing women's panties, bras and socks from the laundry room at the Sun Prairie Apartments, said Lt. Jeff Miller, police spokesman.

When police searched Sills' home, they found hundreds of pieces of ladies lingerie -- and shoes. Miller said he did not know if Sills wore the stolen items.

Miller said a woman at the apartment complex reported missing items in January. The theft was caught on videotape, which police said led them to Sills.

Sills was convicted of burglary in Polk County in 1980 and again in 1983. In the spring of 1999, he was charged with stealing shoes from female students at Iowa State University; he was convicted of theft.

Sills was arrested again in August 1999 after a series of break-ins. Police confiscated about 500 pairs of shoes, as well as underwear, negligees and magazines. Sills pleaded guilty to burglary and was released in 2002.

This time, West Des Moines Police Lt. Jeff Miller said potential victims will be shown photographs of seized items. If they see something familiar, a detective will show them the articles.

"We have bags and bags of these items," Miller said.
