Taking the bite out of crime

[ozzy72]

Police used dental records to identify a man who broke into a hospital 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 breaking into the cafeteria in Karlshamn, 370 miles south of Stockholm, after being presented with the evidence, the newspaper Kristianstadsbladet said yesterday.
The man told the police he had left the cafeteria in a hurry after failing to find anything of value and dropped the teeth while fleeing the building.
The judge who ordered the man's detention was not available for comment.

I'm still trying to get my head round this. What possible reason would a burglar have for removing his false teeth at the scene of a crime? Do you think he bit off more than he could chew?

Moral to all toothless burglars: If you're going out burgling it really doesn't matter what you look like. This is not a fashion parade. Leave your false teeth safely in the glass by your bed where they can't possibly give the game away. This will also be a convenient disguise if you're caught on a security camera. The police won't be able to stop laughing at this toothless burgling idiot which will give you plenty of time to make your get away.

Stand & deliver. Hands on your teef & give me your money. Errm...... Hands on your head & give me your teef. [Thinks] No that's not right. Try again.

Hold hands this is a cock-up errrm stickup.............! [Thinks again] No that's not right either. I'm off. Forget the money & the teef. There must be easier ways to make a living.
