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.

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.

...WHAT questions? Unless they thought he'd planted the teeth...?
I found a huge molar in one of the cabinets when I was cleaning them out when we first moved in to this apartment. *shudder.* Like the unidentified man in the WalMart, I wish it was a wad of cash I'd found and not a massive human tooth. Blah.
Oh my god! That is crazy, and nasty. I might still have an aversion to using that cabinet if I were you.
