Nothing says romance like a gold-plated vibrator stolen from a high-end sex shop.

As Brazil prepares for its Valentine’s Day-like holiday an armed man was apparently desperate for that “perfect gift”.

Police say the man walked into Brazilia’s Erotica Luxo luxury sex shop and stole just one item, an 18-carat gold-plated vibrator worth $4,000.

What he has likely now realized however, is that the pleasure device will can neither be used nor the gold plating sold. The device has a steel core which will make it difficult to remove the gold plating, and on top of that he does not have the charger.

Looks like someone is going to have an unsatisfying holiday.
