Bra bandit on the loose
A burglar on the loose in California is stealing bras and then putting them on his face

COACHELLA, CA -- A burglar on the loose in California is stealing bras and then putting them on his face.



The whole bizarre incident was caught on surveillance video.



The man also known as the "bra bandit" apparently took two bras and a skirt from an unlocked truck which was parked in front of a home in the city of Coachella, ABC affiliate KESQ-TV reports.



He put one bra on his face and another on his chest. He also put on the skirt.



The victim's daughter says she hopes the man is caught soon.



"We all have kids here and for this guy to be walking around naked in a bra and a skirt you know stealing, it's not right." Vidal Coronel said. "What if he's a psychopath and he goes around into somebody's house and does something worse?"



At one point, a police car drives by the victim's vehicle while the suspect was still inside, but he wasn't caught.



Authorities are still looking for the "bra bandit."
