So here's a question, and I apologize if it's already been asked: How did Brinton know the luggage he was stealing would contain fancy lady clothes for him to play dress-up in? It seems unlikely that he was just scoping out girly-looking bags, the security footage released to the media shows one of the stolen items to be a nondescript forest green rolling suitcase.
He seems to have hit the motherlode with this Tanzanian fashion designer, which makes me wonder if he somehow targeted her specifically. He had to have realized these were custom-made pieces that the owner would miss.
