Prosthetic Leg Found on Washington Beach Returned
KINGSTON, Wash. — Jul 1, 2014, 9:11 AM ET
A woman who found a prosthetic leg on a Washington state beach has returned it to its owner.
Hannah Listle posted information on Facebook about the prosthetic she found while looking for shells Sunday at Point No Point beach.
KOMO reports Megan Smith of Poulsbo gratefully claimed the leg Monday. She said she and her husband had been swimming Saturday night when she realized the leg was gone.

On Saturday night, Smith and her husband were swimming at Kingston's Point No Point Beach Park. She had been repeatedly swimming out to a rock, climbing it, jumping off, and then swimming back to shore.
"After about the third or fourth time, I got about half way to shore and that's when I realized my leg was gone," said Smith.
That's when panic set in.
"I dove down into the water and I couldn't find it and I looked and I look," she said.
She spent three hours looking for the leg that night, then came back at midnight for low tide. Nothing. The next morning she searched the beach again, but found nothing.
Smith swims with her custom made prosthetic all the time, and this was the first time it had fallen off in the water. She could not afford a new one, and her backup is used only for running and isn't meant for daily use.

I bet getting back to her car or hotel room was hard to do
I wonder if Ed Hardy knows she has his leg?
