Police say a would-be robber learned the hard way not to bring a gun to a dildo fight Wednesday in San Bernardino, California. Surveillance cameras caught the man entering the Lotions & Lace sex shop shortly before closing holding what appears to be a gun, KABC reports. According to KNBC, police say the man demanded cash. "It was like, really? I don't have time for this," one employee tells KABC. She thought the man's gun was fake, but when he grabbed her, her coworker took action, throwing multiple sex toys at him. "I think he was a coward," the coworker says. "Coming in and trying to get over on two females and not realizing that we're pretty feisty." The man ran off empty-handed. "The message is, 'Get out, we're not going to stand for it,'" the sex shop's owner tells KNBC. Video of the sex-toy fusillade here. (More weird crimes stories.)
