Sure, working in a sex shop can be stressful, but it's all about the people you meet.

A routine day at the store took a strange turn for its owner as a bizarrely dressed robber broke in through the roof.

The intruder, who wore a wig, dress and crotchless pants entered the property early Saturday morning, setting off the alarm in the process. 

The Brisbane Times reports that he was then confronted by the female owner and pelted her with sex toys he was attempting to carry off.

He then made his way back to the roof before being apprehended by police.

It follows a similar incident in Cairns on Thursday when a man attempted to rob goods from a sex shop - also by entering from the roof.
