Girl's prosthetic leg stolen a second time

[trof]

From the "Things That Make You Go :wtf: Dept.":

TEMPLE CITY, Calif. (AP) — For the second time in recent months, somebody broke into a 16-year-old girl's home and stole her prosthetic leg — including one that had been donated following the first crime, authorities said.

The thieves took a $12,000 cosmetic leg and a donated $16,000 leg that Melissa Huff uses to play softball, her mother, Lisa Huff, said. She said a camera in the room was untouched.

"It's insane. Who hates her that bad?" Lisa Huff said. "I went back to the girls' room and the room was trashed. Mostly Melissa's stuff."

6. There is a classic short story

about the theft of a girl's prosthetic leg, called "Good Country People" by Flannery O'Connor:

Often read in high school classes, I think. Maybe that's where the thief got the idea.
