Opera members said the man walked into the SPAR building off Common Street and hit them up for food and money. He was told to leave -- but came back in through another door, grabbed the main character's dress and three other items of women's clothing and took off.
Giving chase were the opera's conductor, director, one of the lead singers and the assistant stage manager. Likening themselves to Hansel and Gretel, they followed a trail of dropped garments to track the thief. A little girl sitting on a porch told them which way the man had run, pursuer Dean Anthony said.
It ended six blocks away when the dress thief was cornered in a wooded area behind some houses. He dropped the dress and then offered to sell it back.
He had stripped down to his underwear and was down to $1 for the dress when police arrived and the handcuffs went on.
Arrested was Tim Grim, address unknown.
