There's a bumper prosthetic crime casebook today.

AFP reports that a teenage amputee whose prosthetic leg was stolen has recovered the artificial limb after it was apparently placed in her yard by a remorseful thief.

Meanwhile, an amputee from Nottingham has been jailed for three years for using his prosthesis to hide his swag -- three mobile phones, bank cards and a purse were found stashed inside his leg.

On a more serious note, the LA Times reports on how veterans who've lost limbs in Iraq are using sport to help rebuild their lives.
