Gadzooks, Batman, It's the G-String Gang! Holy Underwear! -- LONDON (Reuters) - Cheeky thieves, dubbed the "G-string Gang" by the British press, made off with thousands of pounds worth of racy underwear after a daylight raid on upmarket lingerie designer Agent Provocateur, a spokesman said on Tuesday.  The central London headquarters of Agent Provocateur, a favorite among celebrities such as Kate Moss and Liz Hurley, was burgled over the weekend by thieves who carried off 27,000 pounds ($40,000) worth of lacy bras, knickers and corsets as well as shoes and jewelry.  "We were all working upstairs when it appears the thieves broke down the front door and managed to steal the collections from the basement," said Agent Provocateur founder Joe Corre.  But the thieves, who got away with the fashion house's new collection, had not made an intelligent choice in targeting such an exclusive boutique, he said.  "The very nature of the designs, being so distinctive, renders them instantly recognizable, making it easier to track the thieves down, whatever they try to do with the collection."  Agent Provocateur is known for its sexy, slinky and expensive designs which include one-off corsets, suspenders, stockings and G-strings.  A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said the burglary was being investigated but there was no description of the suspects.


Pretty Boy And Agent Provocateur by McGrath of Harlow

Come gather round me children, a story you will hear
how Pretty Boy Floyd he paid a call to Agent Provocateur.

It was in the City of London, where the rich and famous throng,
Liz Hurley in her safety pins, and Kate Moss in a thong.

And Pretty Boy came a-calling, and he left his calling card
Saying "I've stripped this place quite naked - I hope you won't take it hard".

And the police they told the papers, in a manner rather coarse,
"We've working on our photofits with the undercover force."

They pulled in the usual suspects, and they put them on parade,
in woolly drawers and G-strings, I am very much afraid.

But the evidence was scanty, and everyone agreed,
that even in the first place it was not a lot to see.

And Pretty Boy went on the run, but he couldn't sell the stuff,
So he had to wear it for himself - for a robber that's real tough.

And there's a poor old farmer woke one night, her's the story that he told
How Pretty Boy came a calling, in an outfit very bold.

"And he left this note behind him, and a parcel for the wife.
And I've not seen the like of it - mind I've led a sheltered life."

Well, as through the world I've rambled, I've seen funny men galore
But an outlaw dressed like Pretty Boy, I've not seen that before.

Yes, as through this world you ramble, and I don't think that I'm wrong,
You'll rarely see an outlaw in a G string and a thong.
