Cape shopper finds human teeth in wallet

so that's where I left my chompers...

Oh, thank god they found my wallet!

The tooth fairy will be happy!!

Looks like prank art to me. And it worked - made me think.

mmm teeth

Talk about taking a bite out of your wallet...

The customer will probably come forward after he chews it over a while. I'm sure the incident has been gnawing at him. Just another case of the economy taking a bite out of your wallet. Thanks,I'll be here all week.Tip your waitresses.

I think someone left that as a practical joke and I have watched enough forensic files to know that they can take the pulp from the teeth to obtain dna.

The guy who turned in the wallet missed the boat. In another zipped compartment in that wallet was a note that says:
'Whoever finds this wallet (and my teeth!), gets a free dental checkup at Dr. We#$&ven's office."
It's a new guerrilla marketing campaign campaign that's spreading. If you find a foot in your laundry detergent, you get a free visit to the podiatrist.

Maybe the owner had his original teeth removed and got teeth implants...and kept the old ones for sentimental reasons. That's what I would do!

Should have brought it to Flossed and Found

The police are wrong! You can do DNA testing on bone. How do you think people identify skeletal remains from Sept 11??

You wouldn't believe what his wife found browsing the bra department.

All of you except Judge and Jury should be ashamed! I'm really just kidding but c'mon...yuk yuk!

Judge and Jury: well played. Well played, indeed.

They are wrong because teeth have marrow in them, which is full of DNA

In other breaking news at the Super Shop and Stop in Mashpee a Gucci purse was found in the frozen fish freezer containing missing fugitive Whitey Bulger's pet one eyed mamba. Maybe those are Whitey's teeth in Falmouth

Is it bad that my initial thoughts on this incident were that this could perhaps be the first of a truly bizarre trademark of a serial killer? Think about it...who the hell has 10 adult teeth at their disposal to zipper into a wallet & leave on a shelf at a walmart? Also, what kind of weirdo takes on the responsibility of turning in such a thing...knowing full well how odd it is...and then high tails it out of the store? Of course the police can submit the teeth for DNA analysis!! Think about this....in cases that could be serial killer-esque, the police always play dumb AT FIRST, especially when speaking with the media because they A) don't want to instigate a public panic outbreak
B) don't want to deter anyone who may be involved or considered a possible suspect from coming forward. If its portrayed as mild, no biggie, people will have less reservations.
And C) don't want to make the killer aware of how much they know and do not know so that he will be more likely to be careless or make a mistake that would provide trace evidence.

Those are just my thoughts....hopefully i'm wrong, but if i'm right...all of those Forensic Psych classes paid off!

Don't forget to floss.

Not with the MA forensics being what they are....

Could have been a Dental Student. We practice on extracted human teeth.

Those are just the teeth of the Walmart employees, they share those ten teeth and put them in every morning before work. They just forgot, that is all.

This story reminds me of a police log for Falmouth I read about a while back that someone had stolen a box of kleenex out of a car and three logs later, the wayward box of kleenex found their way to some party where people had been illegally partying. And people say it's boring on the Cape in the winter. HAH!
