In 1938, female residents reported a series of panty thefts. The clothes dryer was still years away from becoming common. So, clothes were often hung outside on a line to dry. The thief yanked them off clotheslines and, in some instances, even entered homes and apartments to find his targets. He was never apprehended.
While the panty thefts violated several unfortunately targeted residents, the next crime could be considered as having harmed the entire city. For years, Anchorage had a distinct lack of in-town tourist destinations. A circa 1970 Anchorage tourist guide brochure spotlighted several exciting options for visitors, including the post office, dock, chamber of commerce and library.
