Those are some expensive legs

Someone stole two prosthetic legs -- one configured especially for softball -- from an Arcadia High School student. It was the second such theft in three months.

Melissa Huff is now missing a prosthetic leg valued at $16,000 that she wears to play softball and a cosmetic leg used for everyday use that is valued at $12,000. Melissa Huff lost her real leg when she was hit by an out-of-control car as she stood in front of Dana Middle School in 2004.

There are currently no leads in the case, but according to sheriff's Sgt. Russell Sprague, the burglar, or burglars, pried open a screen window to get into the Huff home on Olive Street.
