The Great Tooth Pick Heist of 2012
Athens-Clarke police investigating toothpick heist
Athens-Clarke police are trying to track down thieves who stole nearly 400,000 toothpicks from a local toothpick manufacturer.
Six cases of toothpicks went missing from Armond’s Manufacturing Company Inc., 95 Trade St., about two weeks ago, and another seven cases disappeared last weekend, according to police.
Each case contained 288 packages of 100 toothpicks, which brings the total number of purloined picks to 374,400.
The plastic toothpicks have a total value of $2,808, police said.

some smelly hippie probably stole them thinking they were wood. They are in the process of replanting them to save Gaia.

All kidding aside, I’m sure these are a cheap (free in this case) alternative to put inside bombs.

“Well we know it wasn’t anyone from West Virginia.”
My family has been roaming the Kanawha River valley since before there was a US of A, and I know of a least two or three folks that would use toothpicks.

All they need to do is look for someone who eats a lot of corn-on-the-cob.
