Friends, Iowegians, Countrymen, Lend Me Your Arm. Or Leg.

Police in Clear Lake, Iowa are asking the public for a leg up in an investigation. Someone has made off with and arm and a leg. Literally.

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa - Police are looking for a hand — well, actually an arm and a leg — in solving the theft of prosthetic limbs from a local business. The prosthetic arm and leg were taken about a month ago from Tom Leisure Prosthetics in Clear Lake, police said.

Leisure said the limbs, which belonged to different women, have a total value of nearly $30,000. But he said the cost goes well beyond the monetary value.

"You can't assign a price tag to being able to walk or to function," he said.

And that is a very true statement. However, there is a hero in this story. Dorothy Wolfe, of Emmetsburg, Iowa, who is currently out a leg had this to say about the whole situation:

"I thought it was funny," she said. "It cost an arm and a leg."

Someone stole her leg and she's making jokes. That's class.
