Don't Toy With Me!


Cops: Man claims bag of stolen goods just sex toys
Associated Press

SALEM, Mass. — A man has been arrested for breaking into three cars after police spotted him carrying a suspicious bag he said was filled with his former wife's sex toys.

Michael Conway was ordered Monday held on $5,000 cash bail for felony larceny. However, he was detained without bail on the probation violations.

According to a police report, the 34-year-old was seen by a Salem patrolman around 3 a.m. Monday walking around town with an empty bag. An hour later, police saw Conway with a full bag.

Conway told police he was carrying his former wife's sex toys. But inside police said they found credit cards, an iPod, a GPS device and a number of other items.

The robber really screwed the pooch on this one. I guess he was thinking that if he said something embarrassing was in the bag like sex toys the cops would just let him go on his merry way and not investigate. But I'm under the other school of thought.

Just like the cop I'd want to take a look in the bag and see what kind of sex toys we're talking about. Sure, it could just be your everyday, average vibrator or it could be something crazy I've never seen before. Who knows? This robber was wrong to underestimate the curiosity of the cop.

  1. If this theft hadnt involved sex toys it would not have received this amount of publicity.
