:wow:

Shopper Gets Leg Up at Carolina Auction
N.C. Man Finds Human Leg in Smoker Purchased at Storage Facility Auction
The Associated Press
MAIDEN, N.C.

A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first. Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.

The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.

The mother explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery. The mother said her son plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

That makes you say....

Why would anyone keep their amputated leg in a smoker in the first place?... Everyone knows you keep them in the freezer
