"Thieves broke into her car and apparently stole from her a caseload of
vibrators," police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said. "It's difficult to say
the exact value of the items stolen, but obviously we're searching for these
items just as with any other incident of theft."
The thieves were likely surprised by the contents, Rosenfeld said.
The two metal cases stolen from Shelly Pasternak's car on Friday resembled
those used for expensive audio-visual equipment, but instead contained massage
oils, dildos, whips, Chinese balls and handcuffs, as well as vibrators.
In all, the thieves made off with about $2 000 worth of sex toys, Pasternak
said, adding that the most valuable item was an elaborate vibrating dildo that
sells for $200.
"It's a very unique one because it gives very high pleasure to women," she
said.
However, Pasternak said she was most concerned about a book of receipts inside
the case that contained the names of customers who purchased sex toys, many of
whom prefer to remain anonymous.
Pasternak (32) is a sexologist who hosts a sex programme on Israeli television,
holds workshops and lectures at bachelor and bachelorette parties.
