Condom Thieves Strike Again at George Mason

April 19, 2010 RSS Feed Print

There must be some kind of condom black market that we don't know about. Otherwise, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that, for the second time this year, students stole hundreds of condoms from the free condom basket at George Mason University's Office of Alcohol, Drug, and Health Education.

Two male students made away with hundreds of condoms last Tuesday, Connect2Mason.com reports. A similar event took place in the fall, when at least 700 contraceptives were stolen. 

"I have no idea [why this happened]," Danielle Lapierre, assistant director of the OADHE, tells Connect2Mason. "[The condoms] are free." 

And yes, you are probably thinking that 700 condoms seems like a lot. Lapierre isn't sure what someone's doing with that many condoms, either. 

"Come on, 700?" Lapierre questioned. "Nobody needs that many."
