Man steals sex toys because he is too embarrassed to buy them

California: A man was arrested in the US on charges of shoplifting after he was caught stealing sex toys because he was too embarrassed to pay for them.

Christopher Masters was arrested after he was caught stealing butt plugs.

Masters apparently had enough money to pay for the items that he lifted from the Vero Beach store in Okeechobee County, Florida but was too embarrassed to face the cash desk, the Daily Star reported.

The store manager caught him removing the aid from its packaging and attempting to hide the item in his shorts.

He was nabbed by store security and admitted to stealing the items, valued at around $30 (£20).

Masters was charged with shoplifting, the report said.
