Police say he walked into the Erotica Luxo store in Brasilia, tied up a clerk and took the item from its display case. He stole nothing else.

It's high season for erotic shops in Brazil as the nation celebrates its own Valentine's Day in less than two weeks.

Store owner Vanessa Baldini tells the G1 news website the robber might get no satisfaction from Wednesday's theft. She says the Swedish-made vibrator has a stainless steel core, making removing any gold plating extremely difficult.

And she notes the robber didn't take the vibrator's charger.

She says: "I really don't know what he'll do. I'll leave it up to his imagination."

1. Does gold plating have any purpose?

[hobbit709]

2. Keeps it shiny.

3. Err

Urine doesn't stick to gold?

Excellent conductivity?

[Sentath]

10. oh yeah

No metallic aftertaste

5. Well, it won't tarnish from lack of use.

And it is probably very satisfying to those that do use it regularly.

6. Other than looking luxurious?

No. No more so than other premium sex-toy finishes.

Gold is inert so it won't give you a UTI like silver, copper or tin would...but beyond that? No.

4. What a ripoff. You can get a 24k gold plated one for less than half that

8. Is there free shipping?

And what's the estimated delivery time?

There's a holiday coming up, you know.

Time is short.

14. I'll save even more $$$$ and just wrap my peener in gold foil...

16. Unless you have a motor in yer dick and a battery shoved up yer ass, I don't think it's the same

7. Will that go with his heart of glass? n/t

11. was the binding a product they sell also?

[bluesbassman]

12. Well, it's probably best that he was armed...

Hate to think how he would've got the damn thing out of the store otherwise.

15. Looks like a shoe.

Now that that's done, what did he use to tie up the clerk?
