Charles Bush

Greeley man charged with sex toy theft has criminal history

Greeley police Thursday said Charles Tyrone Bush, 58, was arrested last week on charges related to stealing sex toys from a neighbor.
The woman reported a break-in at her south Greeley home on Aug. 29. She found a pair of binoculars on her bed.
Bush's wife and adult daughter soon returned some of the toys, as well as lotions and "personal care" items that belonged to the woman, that they found in his bed, Greeley police said.
"Still missing were a large selection of sex toys," according to Greeley police spokeswoman Susan West.
he woman had pictures of the toys, and Bush's wife and daughter gave police permission to search the home.
"The investigator had studied the pictures very carefully and was able to ID one of the toys in a backpack in the suspect's bedroom," West stated in an e-mail Thursday.

"There are still a large amount of items missing and if located should be easy to connect to this case," West stated.
Bush's daughter identified the binoculars as those she had seen in her father's garage.

Bush faces second-degree burglary and a misdemeanor charge of theft between $500 and $1,000.
[...]
Bush has been arrested before on charges that include burglary, harassment, violation of a restraining order and assault, court records state.

Even those of us who buy and use recycled items tend to draw the line at sex toys -- because we may not know where they've been, but we can guess. Does that make Charles Bush an environmentalist? Not to the Greeley Police Department, which arrested him on the shmucky suspicion of swiping marital aids from a neighbor.

Sergeant Susan West, spokeswoman for the Greeley Police Department, provides the following account via e-mail.

About 5:44 p.m. on August 29, she writes, an officer received a call from the 3100 block of 19th Avenue, where a woman told him she suspected Bush, her neighbor, of burglarizing her home and collecting a very specific haul -- lotions, what are delicately described as "personal care items" and "a large selection of sex toys."

The woman didn't leap to this conclusion willy-nilly. She told cops Bush's wife and the couple's adult daughter returned the lotions and personal care items, which they'd found on his bed. However, the sex toys were still missing.

An officer responded to the scene shortly thereafter and contacted the woman, who had several pictures of the sex toys in question -- not while they were being used, we assume. On top of that, she also noted that she'd found a pair of binoculars on her bed that didn't belong to her

Apparently, she didn't see this as a fair trade.

It didn't take long for the officer to spot a forced-entry point -- a basement window. He then asked for and received permission from Bush and his wife to search their home, and by West's account, it didn't take long for him to spot one of the missing sex toys in a backpack in Bush's bedroom. Moreover, his daughter was able to identify the binoculars as a pair she'd seen in the family garage.

That was more than enough to convince cops to cuff Bush on suspicion of second-degree burglary and misdemeanor theft -- a drill that should be familiar to him by this point. He reportedly boasts a record that includes previous busts for burglary, harassment and more.

Bush is currently in Weld County Jail, with his Shmuck of the Week honor to keep him company. But a number of the sex toys remain at large. Be on the look-out!

Imagine having to make THAT police report without a red face.

[Abroad]

I once had to describe a selection of panties to a Japanese police officer after they were stolen from the line. I was reporting the theft mostly to find out whether I should be worried about the thief coming back and doing worse. I came away from the experience with a couple of interesting pointers to life:

1) Nobody dries underwear out-of-doors in Japan. (Unless they are on the second floor or higher, that is.)
2) Foreigners have their underwear stolen all the time in Japan. (Possibly because they are unaware of the second-floor-or-higher-rule, possibly because they are foreign and the thieves are fascinated and try harder.)
3) White, cotton underwear is definitely only stolen from foreigners in Japan. (Presumably, to aspire to having their underwear stolen, Japanese women must wear lacy, nylon unmentionables?)
4) There is a definite pecking order in a Japanese police box, and the youngest officer present gets to take the report from the strange, foreign woman who reports her underwear stolen. (He was far more embarrassed than me. Almost choked when he had to ask me for a description of the knickers nicked.)

Oh, and they advised me to keep my underwear inside in future, but otherwise saw no reason for me to worry. I took the experience to the next Japanese-lessons, and my teacher was horrified by my ordeal. Or maybe just by the fact that I was talking about it. Never quite got to the bottom of that.......

I am missing my purple bullet with the rhinestones on it. I want Police to interrogate this mofo and see if he took mine too.

Rabbit hunting, he's doing it wrong!

I'm mostly horrified at the idea of her getting them back. Granted, he hasn't had that much time to enjoy, but... barf.

She took them back!! I wouldn't even touch them with bare hands.

Does anyone else find his last name just amusing and so fitting with the crime? Maybe he wanted the toys for his own bush.

I wouldn't want any of it back, who knows what he did to her lotions too! Eewww. They do cost a bit though so He should definitely have to pay for replacements! @AngelFire mind in the gutter, lol

My common-law hubby's last name is Bush ... and that is exactly why I tell him that I will never take on that name.
