A man dressed in a black leather hat and a dark coat on
Wednesday ran off with an eight-foot (2.5 meter) whale tooth from a museum in
the Norwegian city Stavanger.
Museum official Atle Fiskaa says the tooth was more than 100
years old and valued at around $9,300. Fiskaa says the thief was between 40 and
50 years old and took off with the tooth together with a big, white dog that he
had left outside the museum before entering.
The incident has been reported to police, who are searching
for the thief.
