Burglar captured after losing leg
Daily Bulletin ^ | 4/10/07

POMONA -- A suspected burglar using a chain and pickup truck to steal an ATM from a market this morning failed to escape capture when his prosthetic leg fell off. Gregory Daniels, 48, was arrested on suspicion of burglary. A second man fled the scene and was not in custody.

The pair smashed a large glass window of the Pomona Ranch Market at 2277 N. Garey Ave. about 3 a.m., police said.

They used a chain and a truck to yank a bolted-down ATM from a concrete floor. Police came to the area and spotted the getaway car.

Officers followed the men into a residential neighborhood. The men drove onto a dead-end street and stopped. Police said one of the men escaped, but Daniels, who had tried to flee, was on the ground because his prosthetic leg fell off.

I’m confident the cops gave him a hand but I doubt if he appreciated the applause.

Sometimes it isn't wise to shake a leg.

Did you hear about the guy that lost his left arm and leg in a car accident? He’s all right now.

What a time to have a bout with ‘Restless Leg Syndrome’.

Sometimes life is funny enough, and this is definitely one of those times!

Too bad that thief didn’t put his best foot forward.

That must have been a real kicker to know that he can still shake hands properly.

Get Nancy Pelosi on the phone now! The Americans with Disabilities Act certainly requires that a one-legged thief be at no disadvantage vis-a-vis a two-legged one. This is George Bush’s fault and needs investigating and prompt legislative remediation.

Yep, and being properly sociable helped meet his one-legged girlfriend, Eileen.

Yes! I see you’ve heard of Eileen and her one-legged, Asian cousin named, Irene.
