Hey! Lend me a hand.....
Teen loses prosthetic hand left on bike Tue Aug 28, 8:33 PM ET
Teenager Jack Baker had only planned to visit his girlfriend for 10 minutes. So he parked his motorcycle outside her home and left his prosthetic hand gripped to its handlebar. When he came back outside two hours later, the hand was gone, apparently taken by a thief or a prankster who found it more interesting to make off with than the bike. "I came out and found the hand was gone. I thought it was my girlfriend's parents messing about, but they said it wasn't them," said Baker, 19. "I went for a look around, but I couldn't see my hand anywhere. There were no kids about and no one to ask if they had seen it. I ended up jumping on my bike and going home." The hand disappeared last week in Bristol, the city in southwestern England where Baker lost his right arm in a head-on crash with a bus in May. The prosthetic hand allowed him to ride his new, specially-adapted motorbike, and Baker said he may not be able to afford the 450 pounds (US$903, euro662) it will cost to replace it. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070829/...6M_qraD7as0NUE Copyright © 2007 The Associated Press.

That'll teach him to leave his hand in his pocket! Hope he gets it back.
A bit pricey to be leaving around I'd be thinking. |
And here, I thought Roscoe needed help.
