War Veteran's Prosthetic Hands Stolen From Car

Post by Flesh Thorn »

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. -- Daniel McConnell has been left handed for the last five years. He lost his right arm while serving in Afghanistan in 2006. But lately, it's been a series of unfortunate events, three of his prosthetic hands broke in one week, which McConnell says is rare.

After getting them fixed, McConnell put his spare prosthetic hands in a duffel bag in the back seat of his car. But what happened last Saturday wasn't so rare to McConnell, once again his car was broken into.

Whoever the dickwad was that stole this probably didn't even know what was inside it. Typical burglars like this just smash and grab and a duffel bag is good odds for a tweaker to score some cash. Lock it-hide it-keep it.
