Time To Trim The Limbs
Parma Heights, OH
A North Church Drive woman got a leg up on a pair of juvenile thieves April 24 after the two girls made off with an unusual lawn decoration from the victim’s home.
According to police reports, the girls stole a fake leg that the woman had on display in her yard. The victim, who has two perfectly good working legs of her own, chased the suspects and eventually caught one of them on Brandywine Road.
The woman’s leg was returned without incident and she agreed not to press charges. The suspects were eventually turned over to their parents, who clearly did not get a kick out of their antics.

Oh, who are they kidding? They’ll just come back for the arm tonight! And an arm’s a whole lot easier to run with.
Speaking of running, it’s kinda sad when a couple of teenagers can’t outrun an adult.

An artificial leg as a lawn decoration: classy.
Brandywine used to be very nice residential area 20 years ago when my aunt and uncle lived on it. Apparently it has hit the skids.

At least it wasn’t one of those wooden lawn ornaments that looks like the back end of a fat lady bending over to do gardening.

I”m picturing something more akin to the leg from the lamp in “A Christmas Story”……….black lace stocking, seam up the back………Daisy! Where’s my med’s!?!

KEEGLET! We think alike. I couldn’t imagine a leg as a lawn decoration.
And “hit the skids” is one of my favorite expressions and we have so few occasions to use it.

Parma—I have been there but not much but I do know that Drew Careys show was based on that area and there is Big Chuck and Little John—It’s all basically Cleveland.
