Toothpaste?! Why Toothpaste?

(Sheesh. What is it with Germany lately?…)

A thief in Germany almost got out of a supermarket with 68 tubes of toothpaste, before a female employee noticed him, and grabbed him in an attempt to stop him. The guy hit her across the face, and ran off, leaving the 68 tubes of toothpaste scattered across the floor. Police are unsure of his motives, and whether or not he had bad teeth.
Toothpaste?! Seriously…
