Marketing Specialist Eric Gorde said the truck was full of its spring line of merchandise such as lingerie, dancewear, club wear, toys, lube and all kinds of romantic stuff.

The truck was recovered on Monday, but all the product is still missing.

We had 20 stores we were going to deliver to, so this truck was packed, said Gorde.

By the time we got our driver out here Monday morning, it was all gone, the truck included.

Gorde snickered and said customers are calling the theft a panty raid.

But all joking aside, Lover's Lane is offering a reward for any information leading to an arrest of those involved.

Police said they believe the stolen merchandise may end up on eBay or the black market.
