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.
$15,000? That should surely give someone a leg up in the world.
Many years ago, the actor who played Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore show was doing fundraising week for the local PBS station. They thought it would be fun to have him the day’s news headlines. He lost it when he was reading a story about a man who was beaten with his own artificial leg. He kept apologizing, but couldn’t stop laughing.
You and I think alike, as that was the first thing that came to my mind.
I used to date a girl with a wooden leg. Had to break it off.
At least he didn’t lose his arm too!
