The Greatest Train Robbery…of Sex Toys

This might go down as one of the strangest and boldest train heists in recent memory.

On Feb. 16, a freight train rolled into the Dallas area carrying a variety of cargo. Among the shipments were two pallets packed with male pleasure devices, or at least, that’s what was supposed to arrive.

Somewhere between Los Angeles and Dallas, things took a very unexpected turn.

According to a representative for Ohdoki, the container seals on the shipment were broken during transit and multiple boxes disappeared along the route. The missing cargo contained hundreds of units of the company’s flagship product, The Handy, a device designed to sync with digital content and deliver automated stimulation.

A formal cargo-loss report shows that 289 “The Handy Massage 2 PRO” units and 330 “The Handy Massage 2 REG” units were confirmed missing.

While the initial complaint didn’t list a price tag, the company later confirmed the value of the stolen shipment at roughly $250,000.

Photos from the delivery site show damaged pallets and broken seals, clear signs the cargo had been tampered with before the train reached its destination.

As of midweek, the missing merchandise had yet to surface.

Which means somewhere out there, a quarter-million dollars’ worth of high-tech pleasure devices vanished somewhere along the American rail system, making this one heist that’s raising eyebrows for more than one reason.
