Default How Twisted Are People???

TEMPLE CITY, Calif. - 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.”

In the first theft, on Nov. 1, someone cut a hole in a window screen and also took video games and other items, authorities said. Her doctor and two real estate finance companies donated money for a new, shock-absorbent “sports leg” with a flexible foot.

On Tuesday, the thief pried open a screen window in the home, about 12 miles east of Los Angeles, said sheriff’s Sgt. Russell Sprague. He said authorities have no leads.

Melissa’s right leg was amputated two years ago after she was struck by a car. She resumed playing competitive softball after the accident and is now a high school sophomore.

“Now, she has nothing to walk with,” said her father, David Huff.

sounds like the stupid bitc...errr, umm.... sounds like this family needs to learn how to LOCK THEIR ____ UP.

Now call me stupid, but if you have a prostetic leg, you WEAR it when you're awake, and take it off when sleeping? I mean, seriously, how does one LOOSE a leg?

I bet it's got something to do with her playing softball. It's probably either someone from an opposing team, or someone from her team who doesn't want her to play. Just a hunch.

They didn't want her getting a leg up on the competition.

Yeah, seriously... Was she asleep in the room when they took it? If she wasn't home, why wasn't she wearing it?

Damn...I agree with locking the thing up...you'd think if someone got in via a screen through an open window, they'd no longer leave their windows open when they're not home. This family sounds pretty dumb.


That really sucks, because those things cost an arm & a....nevermind.

You are so wrong for that comment, but it did make me smile a little bit.
