HEFTY HEISTThe bigger the sex toy, the bigger the score for an alleged shoplifter -- or at least that appears to be what this person was thinking, attempting the ol' 5-finger discount on a 30-inch tall dildo!
Surveillance footage at famed adult store Circus of Books in West Hollywood shows the not-so-smooth shopper snatch the giant sex toy off a display table, tuck it under their arm and walk right out the front door.
We gotta imagine this bad boy is only for show, and not so much functional because it's more than 2' tall and retails for almost $700.
In the video -- obtained by WEHO Times -- you see the cashier spring into action as soon as they notice the phallus heist going down.

The ol' saying is "go big or go home" -- but, clearly, some folks prefer to go big AND go home ... which is fine, as long as you pay!
