Police question man looking for lost dentures

Man says they could have fallen from balcony

A German woman called police Thursday after a man came to her door and asked permission to search her apartment for his lost dentures.

The Associated Press reports the 56-year-old man said he was visiting a friend a few floors above the woman when he lost his dentures from the balcony.

Police believed the unusual request to track down his teeth was sincere, but they are unsure if he ever found them.
