A customized prosthetic leg worth $15,000 was stolen from a man who was hit by a car and critically injured in St. Petersburg Monday night, police say. The man’s family is now asking whoever has it to return the leg.
The crash happened around 10 p.m. on Monday. Police say 49-year-old Christopher Allen Harris was walking in a crosswalk when he was hit by an Infinity G35 driven by a 21-year-old man.
I’m gonna go out on a limb... and say this is the first time that headline has ever been written?
What kind of low-life scumbag would steal a man’s prosthesis?.....................................
“he was hit by an Infinity G35 driven by a 21-year-old man”
There must be a photo of the incident, complete with a license plate on the car. So the Police actually know who he is.
Strange.
“What kind of low-life scumbag would steal a man’s prosthesis?.”
A Leftist.
Yes....... I am saying we know the vehicle and the operators age so why is he not in jail ?
Strange times fer sure
What a low-life to steal a prosthetic leg from someone who needs it.
Lord have mercy!
I pray that the artificial leg is located and return to its rightful owner.
OH, I should have read the article first.
It explains how they know about the car and the age of the driver.
Stolen leg? It is truly a sick world.
I didn’t read as the driver stole the leg. I think a bystander took the leg.
SOme people just need beating with baseball bats................
I had the same reaction, until I actually read the article.
2 Drivers were helping after the accident.
She had only one leg, her name was Margret but
everyone called her “peg”.
Yes. Agree.
Somebody who works at IHOP.
“Police say the impact of the crash knocked Harris’ prosthetic leg off. The leg then hit another vehicle that was headed east. A spokesperson for the police department says both drivers stopped and are cooperating with the investigation.
According to police, the prosthetic leg was stolen before officers arrived at the scene. The leg is customized with Marvel artwork and worth $15,000.”
Ok I get it the guy that hit him didnt steal it some other passer bye POS did
Now that there is a low life.
Any decent human (key word here is decent) would have handed it over to the victim or the PoPo
Must’ve watched too many Soprano’s episodes

The guy in the car did not steal the leg. The driver stopped. The prosthetic leg disappeared from the scene.
