MADISON, Wis., Dec. 11 (UPI) -- A Detroit man who traveled to Wisconsin for a romantic rendezvous with a woman he met on Facebook was robbed by the object of his affections, police said.

The victim told investigators he traveled to Madison to spend a week dating the women, but she pulled "a little bitty gun" on him Thursday after driving him to a Greyhound bus depot, the Wisconsin State Journal reported Friday.

Police said the woman took the man's money, wallet, luggage and cell phone.

Investigators said they have "significant leads" to follow in the case as a result of the information shared by the woman on Facebook.
