There's a 42-year-old cartoonist in West Sussex, England named Derrick Thompson. He's single, and last year, he bought himself a SEX DOLL on eBay. She's six feet tall, she's blonde, and he calls her Shela Louise.
And now . . . she fights crime too.
Derrick sells his art out of a little store, and earlier this month, he left Shela sitting on a couch in the store.
That night, two people BROKE in. But apparently, they didn't steal much . . . because according to a police spokesman, they saw the doll, thought it was a real person, and, quote, "she must have freaked them out and they sped up the theft."
The cops are trying to track them down.
