Police in Israel are looking for 40 vibrators, whips and sex equipment worth 200 dollars, after a prominent sexologist's car was broken into. It's thought that the thieves who broke into Shelly Pasternak's car probably didn't know what they were taking, as the sex toys were contained in two metallic cases similar to those used for audio-visual equipment.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP that the exact value of the items stolen was unclear, and that they were searching for the items "just as with any other incident of theft."

The $2000 worth of the items stolen last Friday from Pasternak's car included massage oils, dildos, whips, Chinese balls and handcuffs, and vibrators.

Pasternak, however, is most concerned about a book of receipts inside the case which contained the names of customers who purchased sex toys, many of whom prefer to remain anonymous.
