Missing in Mexico: 5000 condoms, one truck and an inflatable "banana"
Attention Gadling readers in Mexico; keep your eyes open for a truck carrying 5000 condoms, 800 HIV tests and one 23 foot inflatable banana (wearing a condom). The truck should stand out in traffic, because the sides are painted with that same banana, which from what I understand, is not a standard factory delivered color.
The Condomovil was parked outside a house in Mexico City, but by morning it was gone. Police have no idea what the motive could be (I can think of several reasons). The value of the stolen truck and its contents is about 200,000 Pesos, a little over $18,000.
The truck has been touring Mexico since 1998, and the project has since handed out over 1.2 million condoms. Unless the Condomovil is found, the project will be canceled which would be quite a blow to the Mexican federal health department.

You should throw up the Gadling signal for Kelsey to investigate.

If they aren't gonna give the truck back, for Gods sake and the U.S.'s at least give them back the rubbers! They seem to be in short supply there!
