A man who owed the taxman 90,000 roubles ($2960) paid off some of his debt with inflatable sex dolls

The dolls were valued at 11,000 roubles ($380) and the man from the city of Chita agreed to pay the rest in cash. 'The bailiffs agreed to take the synthetic women and put them up for sale,' explained RIA Novosti. 

It remains a mystery where the bailiff's are selling - or sold - the sex dolls.  Or the identify of the buyers. The sex shop owner got into debt over tax payments and pension contributions, said the Trans-Baikal region bailiff's press service.

'Property seized from debt dodgers by Russian bailiffs in the past include metal doors, dog clothes, human underpants, felt boots, a variety of domestic animals from dachshunds and Persian cats to pigs and cows, a cache of bananas and even a helicopter,' RIA Novosti added.
