Mouse Steals Old Man’s Dentures. Old Man Tears Up Wall. Gets Dentures Back.

WATERVILLE, Maine –Bill Exner, 69, claims that a mouse stole his dentures. He has since torn up a wall in his house to retrieve them.

Exner says he has captured said thief mouse three times. Each time, the mouse escaped, and the last time the rodent made off with his lower dentures.

After this last incident, he said he and his wife Shirley scoured his bedroom after the dentures disappeared from his night stand.

“We moved the bed, moved the dressers and the night stand and tore the closet apart,” he said. “I said, ‘I knew that little stinker stole my teeth’ – I just knew it.”

They found a small opening in a wall where they suspected the mouse was coming and going, and their daughter’s fiance’, Eric Holt, stepped in to help.

“He brought a crowbar and hammer and he sawed off a section of wood and pulled up the molding and everything,” Exner said. “It was quite a job.”

They retrieved the dentures, and Holt suggested his future father-in-law boil them in peroxide and whatever else he could find to disinfect it.

The mouse apparently isn’t done. It frequently comes out and stares at Exner, his wife said.

“He’s taunting him – I swear he’s taunting him,” Shirley Exner said.
