Las Vegas thieves make off with 30,000 condoms and dozens of sex toys

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.

Tasmania Police take selfie with drunk guy so he’ll know how he got home

Some good-hearted cops made sure a drunk man got home safely, then took a selfie with him, using his phone, so he would remember how he got home.

According to Tasmania Police, they got a call from a taxi company, asking them to help a man get home, who was “a bit worse for wear.” Reportedly Reece Park, the man in question, was very drunk. The officers made sure he got home safely, then took the now-viral selfie, so he would know exactly how he got there. In the image the two officers can be seen in the foreground, with an intoxicated Park giving the “thumbs up” in the background.

The next day Reece was scrolling through his phone when he discovered the selfie and posted it to Facebook. He added the caption, “So was just looking through my phone and turns out these good ****s took some banger selfies after they took my drunk ass home,” adding the words “Bloody legends.” After posting the image, it naturally went viral.

In the above Facebook post, Tasmanian police took the opportunity to use that image to urge party-goers to in future “plan ahead.” "Pre-arrange a designated driver, use public transport or organise a taxi if you are intending to have a big night."
 
Senior Sgt. Craig Fox of the Tasmania Police explained that on this occasion, police had been called by the taxi company to help get a drunken man home. When police arrived, they found out what his address was and took him home. While they waited for a friend to arrive to look after Reece, they decided to take the selfie. 

Fox did stress that police do not normally drive people home when they are suffering the effects of alcohol. However, he did say police will always look for a place of safety for anyone suffering the effects of too much to drink.

Elvis’s private jet sold on auction after sitting on a runway for 30 years

The private jet once owned by Elvis Presley and his father was sold on auction Saturday after languishing on a runway in New Mexico.

The 1962 red Lockheed JetStar was previously owned by Elvis and his father, Vernon Presley, but has been sitting abandoned on a New Mexico runway for 30 years. It was auctioned on Saturday, bringing in $430,000 at the GWS Auctions Inc. event in Agoura Hills, Calif. The auction reportedly featured celebrity memorabilia. The name of the new owner of the plane was not disclosed.

According to GWS Auctions, the interior of the plane was designed by Elvis himself and featured gold-toned woodwork, red shag carpeting and red velvet seats. However Roy McKay, a previous owner of the jet, disputes the claim that the rock ‘n roll star designed the interior. Billboard reports that McKay said he designed it himself, saying when he bought the plane the interior was two-tone gray, which he said looked like a casket.

However, GWS Auctions spokesman Carl Carter told the Associated Press that they are confident the interior was designed by Elvis. According to Carter the records of the Federal Aviation Administration show no changes had ever been made to the jet’s interior.

As reported by CBC News, while the interior is still in a reasonable condition, the plane reportedly has no engine and the cockpit is in need of major restoration. The exterior of the plane also needs some work.

Elvis was 42 when he died on August 16, 1977, in Memphis.

Pennsylania police place crack cocaine in their 'Lost and Found'

Police in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania just made a very unusual Facebook post.

The police department added a rather controversial item to their “lost and found box,” in the form of a great big wad of crack cocaine. The drugs, estimated at a street value of around $1,600, were found in the parking lot of a local shopping center.

The presumably tongue-in-cheek post was made to the police department’s Facebook page on Monday, offering to return the crack cocaine to its rightful owner. You can read the full post below.




The police notice didn’t mention who found the crack cocaine, or whether they actually expect someone to come and claim it.

While on the subject of drugs, Blasting News reported today on the story of two counselors at a facility for drug addicts who recently died from a combined heroin and fentanyl overdose.
