London - Teenager Jack Baker had only planned to visit his girlfriend for 10 minutes. So he parked his motorcycle outside her home and left his prosthetic hand gripped to its handlebar.

When he came back outside two hours later, the hand was gone, apparently taken by a thief or a prankster who found it more interesting to make off with than the bike.

"I went for a look around, but I couldn't see my hand anywhere. There were no kids about and no one to ask if they had seen it. I ended up jumping on my bike and going home."

The hand disappeared last week in southwestern England where Baker lost his right arm in a head-on crash with a bus in May.

The prosthetic hand allowed him to ride his new, specially-adapted motorbike, and Baker said he may not be able to afford the 450 pounds (US$903, euro662) it will cost to replace it.

I don,t get why anyone would steal something like that! Arn,t they designed to fit only that person? So what could anyone possibly want it for? I think it,s just to be mean, jerks!

Ok, thats just a bit on the creepy side

And rude

Are you kidding?

Of course kids would steal a fake hand!

It'd be cool to play with at Halloween, play jokes on your friends with, and scare random passer-by's with.

He should have known better than to leave that lying around. People will steal anything not nailed down.
