The mystery of who dumped two tons of condoms in an empty field in Ayutthaya has been solved as a woman stepped up to say, yup, those were her condoms officials collected and burned.
Napat Menthong, 38, said today that thousands of condoms found partially burned had only been left there to dry before she planned to sell them to a recycling plant in Samut Sakhon province.
Napat said she bought the condoms, which had failed quality control, from a factory in Bangkok for THB100,000 last year. She hung onto the prophylactics, described by one police officials as unusually large, and planned to sell them when the price of rubber rose.
Turns out she also owns the field where she left them to dry.
Alas her investment went up in smoke when provincial officials had them all incinerated yesterday.
Napat said she also left several wooden pallets, which she suspects were stolen by a thief who might have set her condom trove aflame by dropping a cigarette.
In the end, she filed a police report about the theft while her accepting the fact her condoms are forever lost.
