“AUSTRALIAN male strip review The Thunder From Down Under has had to cancel parts of its US tour because they’ve got nothing to wear after their van was stolen.

The strippers were in Annapolis, Maryland, on Friday night when the van went missing.

The van contained thousands of dollars of equipment, costumes and merchandise and the strippers have promised a US$5000 ($5230) reward to whoever can help them get it back.

“They were shocked,” said Bradford Singh, a manager at the Ram’s Head Tavern where the troupe had been performing, told the Annapolis Capital.

“Maybe it was one of the ladies who just wanted a thong.”

Annapolis Police Department officer Hal Dalton spoke with a representative of the group about the missing items, the Annapolis Capital reported.

“It was kind of humorous. She said there were costumes, equipment and the merchandise they sell on tour. But she wondered what anyone would want with tear-away pants,” he said.”
