Thieves leave Malaysian without a leg to stand on

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 5 (Reuters) Malaysian thieves stole a disabled man's motorcycle, leaving him to hobble about on crutches because they grabbed his prosthetic leg as well, the Star Newspaper said today.

''They stole my motorcycle but why did they have to steal my leg too?'' asked lottery-ticket vendor Tan Seh Poon, who had left the leg on his bike while using crutches to walk around a mall near the Malaysian capital to sell tickets.

Tan, 63, discovered the theft after three hours and had to ask a friend for a ride home, the newspaper said.
