S.F. police looking for owner of abandoned prosthetic leg
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 2, 2015 | Steve Rubenstein

Someone in San Francisco is missing a leg, and the cops have it.

It’s worth $7,000, and probably a lot more to the person it belongs to. It’s a prosthetic right leg, and it comes with a man’s brown shoe, in good repair.

Officer Julio Bandoni found the leg last week at Eighth and Market streets. It was leaning against a tree trunk, in front of a mobile-phone store.

He figured whoever lost it would have stepped forward by now.


He can't step forward he only has one leg.

Whoever the guy is, it’s pretty clear he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

Who needs a leg when he has a mobile phone?

Is what he did considered going out on a limb?

I just hope the man with the one leg doesn’t find a headless man in a topless bar.

I suppose the feller missing the leg took it all in stride.

Look for the guy going around in circles and going nowhere.

The poor guy should be careful, and watchout for muggers and knock-out-gamersters. He’s clearly shown he can be easily defeeted.

I’d claim it, but then I’d have an unfair leg up on my competition .

My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
He always likes to roam
My pal’s name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
I never find him home

I go to his house
Knock at his door
People come out and say
Foot Foot don’t live here no more

My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Always likes to roam
My pal Foot Foot (Foot Foot)
Now he has no home

Where will Foot Foot go
What will Foot Foot do
Oh, Foot Foot
I wish I could find you

I’ve looked here, I’ve looked there
I’ve looked everywhere
Oh, Foot Foot
Why can’t I find you?

Foot Foot, where can you be?
Foot Foot, why won’t you answer me?
Foot Foot, Oh Foot Foot
Wherever you are
I want you to come home with me

I don’t have time to roam
I have things to do
I have to go home
Oh, Foot Foot, where are you?

If Foot Foot didn’t like to roam so well
He would still have a place to dwell
Foot Foot, please answer me
I know where you are
You’re behind that tree

Foot Foot, please come to me
Foot Foot, now that you’re here
Won’t you come home
Foot Foot, promise me this
That you will never again roam

—The Shaggs

I think the guy will be hoppy to get his leg back.
