Seagull with stolen dentures has some very serious explaining to do

What's your end game, seagull?

Seagulls are commonly known for their thievery of beach and boardwalk snacks.

Occasionally, though, they'll get their beaks on other miscellaneous items. On Friday, a seagull in Newton Abbot, England, was photographed with something quite surprising in its beak.

Someone shared the following pictures on the Spotted Newton Abbot Facebook page with a caption that said: "Hi Spotted Newton Abbot, can you please post this picture below. Someone's false teeth were found on a bench on Torquay Harbour at lunchtime. Unfortunately anyone missing them will need to contact the seagull as he flew away with them!"

These pictures beg so many questions. Who is the poor soul who lost his or her dentures to the winged thief? How did this denture heist unfold? What does this seagull even want with them?

While the circumstances around the picture remain a mystery, one thing is certain: this sky bandit cannot be trusted.
