Man Steals 8-Foot Whale Tooth from Norway Museum
The tooth fairy in disguise? No, just a simple tooth thief.
A man dressed in a black leather hat and a dark coat on Wednesday ran off with an eight-foot (2.5 meter) whale tooth from a museum in the Norwegian city Stavanger.
Museum official Atle Fiskaa says the tooth was more than 100 years old and valued at around $9,300. Fiskaa says the thief was between 40 and 50 years old and took off with the tooth together with a big, white dog that he had left outside the museum before entering.
The incident has been reported to police, who are searching for the thief.
