STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Police used dental records to identify a man who broke into a cafeteria in southern Sweden -- the suspect left his false teeth with his social security number engraved in them at the scene of the crime.
The 43-year-old man admitted to breaking into a hospital cafeteria in Karlshamn, 370 miles south of Stockholm, after being presented with the evidence, the newspaper Kristianstadsbladet said Sunday.

The man told the police he left the cafeteria in a hurry after failing to find anything of any value and dropped the teeth while fleeing the building.

The judge who ordered the man's detention was not available for comment Sunday.

LOL, odd. He was stealing in a cafeteria but took his teeth OUT. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

He was too busy laughing in his office! :D

False teeth at 43? The guy needs to learn oral hygiene as well as how to commit a crime without leaving no-brainer evidence behind.

I was wondering about why he'd take them out too! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Maybe he found a sweet roll that was too tough? HAHA!

Aerich, yup, he needs 'how NOT to leave the perfect evidence behind' lessons!

Some people, heh

There are just some people who waste good oxygen.

Pretty funny! It takes all kinds doesn't it? :D

Aerich,
In his office laughing - [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

Please don't assume that all people with false teeth have them because they don't practice good oral hygiene. I know two people personally who have dentures (one full set, another partials) who got them because they lost their teeth in automobile accidents. Lots of reasons why people end up losing teeth really. Look at hockey LOL. Wayne Gretzky's pearly whites? Fake. :D

Most inmates (at least in the U.S) have access to free dental work too so they can opt for dentures as opposed to extended dental work or just for the sake of "never having to go to the dentist again" (a lot of them don't really grasp the fact that as they get older their gums shrink and a well-fitting set of dentures isn't going to fit the same twenty years down the road). So chances are if this nit-wit is a career criminal rather than face fillings and/or root canals for the rest of his life, he was given extractions and made dentures c/o the government that had him incarcerated.

Did he not notice? Did he not think that something seemed to be missing, and he'd better go back to retrieve it. I mean, his teeth! It's hardly something you easily forget and leave behind.

Well, it wasn't the perfect evidence. At least he wasn't one of those morons who leave their wallet behind. :D

Nah, just his teeth (traceable to the place they were made and for whom) AND apparently his id number was on them? LOL

Haha! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Brilliant! What a way to prove who you are. Just pull out your teeth and show whoever wants to know your ID

--Kestrel--

Hah! reminds me of a flash cartoon that I saw recently. "The only evidence that we have of the criminal is this headband... and birth certificate... and wallet... and an autographed picture of himself [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Rofl, this is entertaining XD

I'm sorry, I just assumed that anybody stupid enough to leave their IDed false teeth behind at a robbery was too stupid to brush their teeth. ;)

Although that could apply to some sports stars, too. :D

I'm half his age and have been asked about dentures, my teeth are in a good condition, but are getting forced out of my gums by my tounge.. Do I need to learn oral hygiene? I think not..


Why would he have taken his teeth out.

Maybe there are a bottle top he wanted to take off but it was stuck so he took his teeth out to use to get a better grip?


He had left them there the day before and was breaking in to get them back, but then saw the cash draw and got disstracted?

My dad has had false teeth since he was a teen. Its a condition that runs in the males in my family, the teeth just rotting out of your head. I had mine capped in silver when it started with me. Luckily it hit early and it was my baby teeth. Still, I was a few years off from dentures myself :(

Sorry folks, I didn't mean to offend, pardon me whilst I remove my foot from my mouth and stash it somewhere. [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

All I have to say:

NUTS!

Nuts? No, it was false teeth, not false nuts. ;)

He might as well sit there on the crime scene and wait for the police to come. :rolleyes:
