Thieves took advantage of the Memorial Day weekend to steal 30,000 condoms and sex toys in two raids in 24-hours from an adult product warehouse.
What a way to spend the weekend. The Swedish adult product manufacturer LELO has released
surveillance footage showing thieves robbing their warehouse over the Memorial
Day holiday weekend. Within 24-hours the thieves raided the warehouse twice,
stealing 30,000 condoms and a variety of sex toys.
The culprits' first raid happened at approximately 7:45 pm on May 26th. Two men were seen entering the warehouse via a back gate, then helping themselves to two boxes containing more than 15,000 Lelo Hex condoms each. According to LELO it is difficult to tie down a value for the stolen condoms as they are individually wrapped. However, large packs of the condoms are normally sold at around a dollar per individual item.
In a blog post, LELO said the dumbest thing about the theft is that they are going to give away thousands of the condoms for free in a few days’ time. The statement added that if the thieves had waited, they could have asked just for the condoms like everyone else.

However, it turns out the thieves weren’t finished yet. The
next morning at approximately 10:30 a.m., the thieves drove a car through the
warehouse loading bay door (literally). On this occasion the culprits loaded themselves up
with a more expensive assortment of toys, including 48 kegel beads and 33
HUGO™ vibrating prostate massagers. The sex toys would normally retail for around $200 each, bringing the
total stolen over the weekend to approximately $40,000.
Speaking of the two separate raids of their warehouse, the sex toy company joked: "Like all true romances, they weren’t satisfied until they came twice." They also made a wish that the condom thieves, “got into a time machine, went back 18-25 years (by the looks of it), and presented them all to their own fathers.”
Their statement went on to ask the public if they have any information relating to the theft, can identify the culprits from the surveillance video or can lead the police to the stolen goods, they should get in touch with the Las Vegas Police Department. LELO said on receipt of the stolen items, the company will donate the full retail value of the products to a charity of the finder’s choice.

LELO said in their statement about the theft, “But hey, with 33 HUGO™ vibrating prostate massagers, we suppose one thing is true: these slippery crims can happily go f**k themselves.”
There’s definitely no arguing with the company’s sense of humor over the whole issue, as their blog is titled, “You might Question our Security, but You can’t Argue with Our Protection.” Nothing like plugging the business, if you'll forgive the pun.
