Is That a Two-Liter Bottle of Coke in Your Shorts or Are You Just Happy to See Me?

I'm just sure (cough, cough) the manufacturer of these, um, special shorts had the best interests of tourists in mind. Which is probably whey the company is called Stashitwear.

The memo was brief.

The NYPD is warning cops to be on the lookout for criminals wearing underwear with hidden pockets for their stash.

Police said Monday they learned about the invention during the bust of a Brooklyn marijuana suspect last month.

"It was found that many companies carry this type of underwear with a secret pocket for males and females," police said in an officer safety alert. "The arrested perpetrator gave information that drugs and weapons are being concealed in underwear that contains secret pockets."

Several companies make such undergarments, but the memo cites the $12 Pocket Boxer Briefs made by Stashitwear. The company's website shows a 2-liter bottle of Coca-Cola tucked into the 15-inch deep pocket.

There's also a demonstration of a wearer shoving money, two cigarettes, a cell phone, a wallet, a condom and a lighter, among other items, into the undies.

"I'm just trying to show you how big the pocket is," the demonstrator says, patting himself. "Can't even tell they're there. A thief would never know."

Company owner Phillip Scott did not respond to a request for comment, but he has said his targets are travelers looking to avoid getting ripped off - not drug dealers who want to hide their wares.

I wonder if it has room for a freezer pack so you can keep your wine chilled while you travel?

Here's their website with a very helpful demo.
