Girls stolen legs returned

ARCADIA, California (AP) -- A 16-year-old girl's prosthetic legs, which were stolen twice since November, have been quietly returned, police said.

Melissa Huff's mother found the legs in her unlocked car, which she had parked at Arcadia High School on Wednesday afternoon.

"Nobody was seen in or around the car," Arcadia police Lt. Ken Harper said. "There were no witnesses. We lifted some fingerprints and will see if there is any match."

Huff's right leg was amputated below the knee after she was struck by a car two years ago. more.....

3. seems like

they came to the realization that what they did was really wrong and they were able to atone for it. A silver lining in a story that shows the darkness that can exist in humans.

6. Whoever took them in the first place is a pathetic asshole.

Some people like to feel big by picking on someone in a vulnerable situation.
