Maybe he was building something out of toothpicks – smh…

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – June 9, 2012 (WPVI) — Who says toothpicks are not valuable?

Police in Georgia are trying to figure out who stole about 400,000 toothpicks worth

nearly $3,000 from a manufacturer in Athens. Police tell the Athens Banner-Herald

someone took six cases from Armond’s Manufacturing Company Inc. about two

weeks ago, and another seven cases disappeared last weekend.  Each case contains

288 packages of 100 toothpicks.  Police say there were no signs of forced entry. The

owner believes a current or former employee might be responsible.  Two employees

told the owner they saw a man selling containers of Armond’s toothpicks at a flea

market last weekend.
