"Most guys just leaver hanging in the tree"
how could you tell? ;) Poor little girl, but it's not the end of the world... I'm sure the carpenter made her a new foot in a svosh!
Yikes, I just looked on ebay, and there are lots of prosthetic limbs, listed on there.
Hmmm...perhaps the cops should look at Arcadia High School's softball competitors. This may be a case of Tanya Harding lack of sportsmanship.
Sounds like someone just being mean to that poor girl.
This is terrible of course, what has been inflicted on this poor girl not once, but twice by a particularily cruel, sick person.
Nevertheless, a question: If both prosthetic legs were stolen from her home while she was away,
Why was she not wearing one outside her home and how did she get about without one? Or must prostheses wearers occasionally use crutches because of discomfort caused by the artificial limb? Sincere answers, please.
They probably heard of the "value" of them, but failed to realize they are custom made and not worth a dime on the open market.
I suspect evil older sister Melissa is in on it.
This reminds me of one of Flannery O'Connor's short stories, "Good Country People," about the hypocrticial travelling Bible salesman who steals Hulga's wooden leg. He boasts that he got a glass eye from another of his victims.
im not sure why she would have left both legs at home
but it could have been because of the discomfort.
this just cannot be a random theft. she only lost her
own leg 2 yrs ago and this is the second time she's
been robbed of a prosthetic.
truly cruel!
This is a sad story. How cruel of the thief.
I would also guess probably discomfort. I knew a guy in HS who was born without his legs from the knee down. He rarely wore the prosthetic legs, becasue they were such a pain.
