Thieves broke into the home of a 16-year-old California girl, stealing her prosthetic legs, the second such robbery in three months.
The first time it happened, Melissa Huff of Temple City, Calif., lost her prosthetic leg she'd used to play softball. That was replaced with a donated leg worth about $16,000.
"This time around," Huff's mother said "the thieves not only took the donated leg, but another one for her off-field use, worth about $12,000, reports the Whittier Daily News.
Police said the thieves broke into the home after prying a screen window.
Melissa Huff, a sophomore, plays softball for her high school. "Now, she has nothing to walk with," said her father.
