UNDERWEAR THIEVES RETURN TO SAN ONOFRE

SAN ONOFRE, Ca. (AP) - Robbers who strike while wearing only underwear, their bodies slathered with oil to make them slippery and harder to catch, have resurfaced at San Onofre Surf Beach. Two unidentified, underwear-clad burglars robbed cars and RV's at the southern end of Dogpatch on May 30, Ranger Hal Dairywimple said. Rangers thought they had quashed the "underwear gang" last year, the report said. They apparently wear only underwear in an attempt to make themselves harder to identify. Beach locals had started a community watch program to prevent such crimes, Dairywimple said. But "the underwear thieves resurfaced because the locals stopped," he said.
