Way off topic, but I have to share this story...

Shopper Gets Leg Up at Carolina Auction
Sep 25, 8:17 PM (ET)

MAIDEN, N.C. (AP) - A man who bought a smoker Tuesday at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first.

Maiden police said the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches above the knee.

The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.

The mother explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery. The mother said her son plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

There's all sorts of questions I have.

I'll start with three....

Why would you want to keep your old leg?

Why, after leaving it where it could be discarded do you travel 35 miles to BRING IT BACK?

If this leg was worth keeping and even bringing back, why throw it in the smoker in the first place?
