FALMOUTH – What’s in your wallet?
A Walmart customer shopping around for a new wallet found 10 human teeth while looking through a wallet he was about to buy on Saturday night, police said. More Times Breaking News
Police said the man was shopping in the Teaticket Highway store at 9:58 p.m., when he unzipped one of the wallet’s compartments and discovered what police have identified as 10 human teeth. One tooth – which police said are from an adult – had a filling, police said.
The male customer turned the wallet and the teeth over to Walmart employees, but left the store without giving his name before police arrived.
The wallet still had the original tags on it, but police said they cannot perform DNA tests because there was no blood and no gum tissue on the teeth.
Walmart officials did not release any further details but said the company will investigate.
“We’re not aware of anything like this happening in the past and we believe this to be an isolated incident,” said Ashley Hardie, Walmart spokeswoman.
Police are hoping the unidentified male shopper comes forward to answer questions. Anyone else with information regarding the teeth can contact Falmouth police Det. James Pires at 508-457-2526.
It's a wonder they didn't call a HazMat team. Years ago I had a whopper of a widom tooth pulled and jokingly told the dentist that I ought to put it on a key chain. He was horrified. "You can't do that! It's TOXIC WASTE!".
Now I know I had bad breath then, but gimmie a break!
“police said they cannot perform DNA tests because there was no blood and no gum tissue on the teeth.”

I currency any humor in this.
