A line from a poem by the English poet Robert Browning goes as follows: “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.”
Unless, of course, that reach is aimed at stealing a 30-inch dildo.
An alleged shoplifter was caught on camera at the famed Circus of Books adult store in West Hollywood attempting to grab the massive toy off a display table and saunter out the front door. Check out the full story — and video — here!
The dildo stands 2.5 feet tall and retails for nearly $700. Understandably, a cashier reacted quickly to deter the thief in question.
Based on the video, it seems the cashier was able to retrieve the dildo and crisis was averted.
Surprisingly enough, this type of mega-dildo theft happens more often than one might think. In fact, it happened in Las Vegas just a couple of years ago.
A masked man was captured on video as he strode into the Déjà Vu Love Boutique in Sin City on July 14 and grabbed a three-foot-tall, 40-pound dildo which was standing on the sales floor. The kinky thief got it up over his right shoulder and left the premises, crammed the titanic toy into his vehicle and drove off.
“Sadly, the pandemic has encouraged even the scummiest of scumbags to steal the strangest products from innocent businesses,” Deja Vu executive Ryan Carlson told The NY Post.
