Detective Tony Kovacs of the Lorain County Sheriff's Department said the thief took the truck Sunday night from JT Container Recycling in Elyria and drove it about a half hour's distance to the AdultMart in Amherst, WJW-TV, Cleveland, reported Thursday.

The burglar "used it to back into the AdultMart, smashing the glass door of the store and ran inside to steal a sex toy basically," Kovacs said.

The detective said the $800 sex toy is "basically the lower half of a female body."

He said the thief then drove the truck back to JT Container Recycling, where he fled on foot after being spotted by a deputy.

John Tirbaso, owner of JT Container Recycling, said the thief did several thousands of dollars worth of damage to the truck and the fence around his business.
