Biker's Hand Get Stolen
August 31st 2007 04:49
An appeal has been launched to find a biker's prosthetic hand after it was stolen when he left it gripped to the handle of his motorbike.
Jack Baker, 19, lost his right arm when he was involved in a crash with a bus in May and had a fake hand fitted to enable him to ride an adapted motorbike.
When he went to visit his girlfriend in Bristol last week he left it attached to the bike, thinking he would only be a few minutes.
"I ended up staying for two hours," he said. "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.
"I went for a look around but I couldn't see my hand anywhere."
Although Mr Baker has a second hand designed for racing the stolen one is of a better quality. Police are now appealing for anyone with information about the missing hand to come forward.

I think it's a cool prank. I'm sure it will resurface somewhere but it might have been used in unsavory ways.
