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.

I can’t do the story justice but a guy I know got real drunk one night at a bar and took some random girl home ...Passed out ...woke up and she was gone but there was a prosthetic leg laying on the floor. She never came back for it and he didn’t know what to do with it. I think he still has it.

Probably has some lame excuse as to how he lost his leg.

Eilean is blameless. This sounds more like Peggy.

Usually it’s a case of the guy waking up with a hangover and discovering that the “gal” has one appendage too many

Not as bad as an unarmed black man.

Hopefully Harrison Ford doesn’t get accused of killing his wife, when it was the one legged man all along.

In my local donut shop there was a handwritten note that someone was looking for their arm that they left behind. It was “pier a” I think.

How do you forget your arm?

Maybe there truly are people who’d forget their heads if they weren’t screwed in to their bodies.

Thought the same, one must “hop” forward.

Clue, look for a man with three legs?

Bald and portly. What he lacks in looks he makes up for in charm ...he sells used cars for a living and has a pretty good looking wife.
