Thieves Break In, Steal Rare Historic Sex Toys From Brothel
<snip>

BUTTE, Mont. -- Thieves broke into the historic Dumas Brothel museum here and stole what the owner described as irreplaceable items, including rare, historic sex toys.

Owner Rudy Giecek said he believes at least two thieves entered through the museum's back door, disabled an alarm and looted rooms. They dismantled beds, stole antique lamps and artwork and emptied glass cases full of brothel artifacts.

Police are investigating the thefts.

The brothel, dubbed one of America's longest-running, enjoyed 92 years of risque business until it closed in 1982.

Giecek ran it as a museum for 15 years, but closed it earlier this month because of his health, safety concerns and lack of money.

"I just can't do it anymore by myself," he said.

The burglary compounded his problems, but Giecek is determined to recover artifacts. He said he will distribute photographs of missing items to police, pawn shops and antique stores in the area.
