Unattended Bag That Sparked Bomb Investigation In NYC Bus Station Actually Filled With 1,000 Condoms

(Port Authority Police

Do you ever get that feeling like you’ve left your bag filled with over a thousand condoms in it somewhere you shouldn’t have? No? Because somehow someone at a bus station in New York City managed to wander off and leave a bag fairly brimming with contraception unattended, prompting a bomb investigation.

While one might imagine that managing to lose such a treasure trove is nigh on impossible, authorities with the Port Authority Police say they had to investigate a potential bomb situation when officers on patrol found a silver bag by itself at the George Washington Bridge Bus Station late last week, reports NJ.com.

The building is under extensive renovation, making the bag’s spot behind a barrier-separated lane next to the waiting room a bit suspicious.

After a canine unit arrived to check for explosives and came up empty, officers opened it up to find it held about a thousand individually-packaged male and female condoms of various brands and styles, a police rep explained.

All is not lost, my pleasure-seeking and safe friend! You can still get your love tools back.

“The bag and its contents were vouchered,” the rep added. “Thus far, no owner has come forward.”
