A Man Seduced a Woman with "Real Big Thighs" . . . Then She Stole His Car and His Silver Pants

This is one of those stories that's so ridiculous it HAS to be true . . . because you couldn't make something like this up.

In Vero Beach, Florida, a 24-year-old man . . . whose name hasn't been released . . . was driving his friend's Dodge Avenger and stopped at a park . . . where he met a woman with, quote, "real big thighs."

They talked for about an hour before the guy, quote, "talked her out of her pants" and they went to a motel that rents rooms for $30-an-hour. They drank some gin, they did their thing, and the man fell asleep.

When he woke up, the woman with "real big thighs" was gone, and she'd stolen his gold bracelet, his watch, $282 in cash, the Dodge Avenger . . . and his SILVER PANTS. The police are still looking for her.
