If you know the whereabouts of 5,000 condoms, some sound equipment and a motor used to inflate a giant prophylactic, Mexican police would like to speak with you. The condom goods were all stolen from a 'condom-mobile' used to promote HIV/AIDS awareness in Mexico City.
The coordinator of an HIV/AIDS awareness tour, Polo Gomez, said the truck was taken on Sunday from its parking spot in front of a friend's house.
The truck was recovered on Wednesday in a shopping mall parking lot in a northern suburb - but the condoms and the equipment were missing.
Gomez said the thieves left some 800 HIV tests. More importantly, they also decided against stealing the 23-foot-long condom that came with the vehicle.
The truck wasn't hard to locate. It features painted images of a peeled banana, the exposed part shaped like a condom, and a shirtless man saying: 'I protect myself. Do you?'
After the theft received widespread media coverage, residents phoned police with the vehicle's whereabouts, Gomez said.
The Condomovil program has toured Mexico since 1998 promoting safe sex practices while distributing 1.2 million condoms to more than 700,000 people, Gomez said. The inflatable condom was used to draw attention from passers-by.
