Man's fetish for mannequins is yucky, at least he gets caught

A Detroit man who has "a thing for mannequins" (which is also called statuephilia) was arrested after he broke into a store and dressed the plastic, nude dolls in French maid uniforms. And then I'm not sure what he did but he was found in the alley with three other dolls. If convicted he could face a lifetime in the slammer, as he has been convicted of this crime before six previous times in the last 13 years.

A man who has a history of smashing windows to indulge his fetish for female mannequins could draw a long prison term for his latest arrest.

Surely it would've been easier just to buy the mannequins and not hang around at the crime scene. I don't know - some people like to make things more complicated than they are. Or maybe he wanted to get caught.
