If I was going to risk a jail sentence for breaking and entering and theft, I don’t think it’d be for toothpicks. But that’s what’s happening in Athens, Georgia, where the Armond Manufacturing Company has reported two separate thefts of toothpicks: 400,000 of them worth about three grand! The company says six cases were taken a couple weeks ago and seven more over the weekend. A former employee is among the suspects. Authorities are searching the woods for a really tiny hideout. DB
