Stiff response to sex toy mystery

Residents in the Darwin's rural area of Australia have renamed their street "Dildo Boulevard" after 30 sex toys were found lying in front of a house on Friday morning.

Robert Johns and Laurelle Bates discovered the mysterious toys as they left for work in the morning. "It's a real mystery. We have no idea where they came from," Ms Bates said. "I know they aren't new. They look used." Mr Johns said he counted the sex toys on Friday morning, and the number had decreased within 24 hours. "Yeah, some of the bigger ones are gone," he said.

Many of the devices are still lying outside the Osbeck Rd home - most crushed under the wheels of passing cars.



Locals have been puzzled by their sudden appearance and are trying to solve the curious case of the invading sex toys. One theory is that it is an elaborate - and expensive - practical joke. Another school of thought is that they fell off the back of a delivery truck.

Some said the sex toys could have been inside somebody's rubbish bin, and fell onto the street on Thursday night when the garbage was collected. Neighbour Camilla Cappa said the sex toys were a curious addition to the rural area. "There were all different kinds. Some were different colours.One was like a banana ," she said.

Although some are starting to go missing, Ms Cappa said many of the sex toys were still on the street. "Who is going to pick them up? If you pick them up, you claim ownership. If you own them, you're desperate," she said.
