Life In Ohio, A Continuing Series

Ohio man steals truck so he can ram through the wall of a sex shop and steal a synthetic vagina:

LORAIN COUNTY, Ohio— 

Deputies in Lorain County are on the lookout for a man who pulled a 'crash and grab' with a stolen tractor-trailer truck in an AdultMart and stole an $800 sex toy.

"Definitely weird. It's kind of crazy to steal a vehicle that's that expensive to break into a story to get some kind of sex toy," said Det. Tony Kovacs, with the Lorain County Sheriff's Department.

Incredibly -- or, this being Ohio, not so incredibly -- that is merely the second-stupidest theft attempt on that very AdultMart of Lorain County, Ohio. The stupidest occurred in 2009 is captured on surveillance video:

Ohio.

"Adultmart" must be a midwest thing as I've never heard of it here in NC. We all know midwesterners are very much the real "America", unlike those of us who are coastal snobs. Then again, we in NC are true Murkins since our adult shops aren't chains run by heartless MBAs. Nosiree, ours are good ol' fashioned mom 'n pop stores. Them's your Murkin values in plain display.

And it was just the other week that I saw on the campus of Sydney University someone wearing a "Friends Don't Let Friends Live in Ohio" t-shirt.
