Man Crashes Truck Into Adult Store, Steals $800 Sex Toy In Ohio


First Posted: 08/25/11 02:57 PM ET Updated: 10/25/11 06:12 AM ET

Police are looking for a man who had a breakthrough in his sex life.

Cops in Ohio are trying to track down a thief who stole a semi-truck, crashed it into an Adultmart in Lorain County early Monday morning and escaped with an $800 sex toy.

The crook stole the red Volvo cab from a business in Elyria and drove it into the sex shop at around 2 a.m., WOIO reports.

After plowing through the store's backdoor, the perp took a "life-like masturbator complete with female genitalia with legs and buttocks," the station notes.

Officers spotted the semi-truck after the heist, but the crook -- described as a white man wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt over a red shirt -- managed to escape on foot, The Morning Journal reports.

Police believe he must have stashed the costly sex toy somewhere after the robbery.

Strangely enough, the Adultmart was the scene of a similar crime in 2009 in which a perp drove a vehicle into the shop and snatched a sex toy.

Police have declined to release surveillance video of the recent incident in an attempt to discourage copycat crimes, according to a WOIO video (below).

Calls to the police department were not returned by Huffington Post deadlines.

at least he is not going to be stalking someones daughter/mother/sister/grandma or whatever to rape them. make all the jokes you want, but this person is demonstrating at least enough self control that no one (besides the insurance co. that will pay out the claim) will be getting victumized.

How sick is society that there are sex toys that cost $800 and there are people that want them?

800,00 bucks could we at least get a picture of what the toy looked like.
You can get a pint of jerkins lotion for a dollar.

perhaps if they construct a drive-through window, they could avoid people repeatedly driving their cars through the walls

"Strangely enough, the Adultmart was the scene of a similar crime in 2009 in which a perp drove a vehicle into the shop and snatched a sex toy."

surely there was a better word to use than "snatched"

"Police have declined to release surveillance video of the recent incident in an attempt to discourage copycat crimes, according to a WOIO video"

did this second drive-through watch a video of the first time?

Good grief wouldn't $800 buy a high priced call girl. Something a little warmer than a sex toy. Now if he gets caught he will be the sex toy in the cell.

He could have took it because it was a high price item and he knew he could sell it to someone brand new for less than the asking price of the store.

A real woman is a one time event whereas a sex toy is forever :).
