I suppose that someone thought it was funny, sick sense of humour! I hope that what goes around comes around for the thief.

Good grief, will these thieves take anything to sell for cash? This is really getting down and dirty.
Tks Terry

These things are custom made for the individual that needs them. What on earth good would they be to anyone else. So senseless and stupid.

Truly sad. But I'm buoyed by Tabitha's spirit. She is beautiful inside and out, and has the love of her family. All the thief has is an empty soul. I hope she is able to sue to hospital.

We can learn a lot from this woman and others in her situation. She is grateful to be alive, and has such a positive outlook!! Tough lady. I am sure good things will come her way.

This is terrible, some people just have no regard for other people whether they are in need to what.. this is a selfish act to take away these artifical limbs from somebody who so needs them

The dirty rat committed a public wrong as well as a tort, or private wrong. By stealing Tabitha's prostheses the burglar committed the crime of larceny and the tort of conversion. Conversion can be defined as the unauthorized possession of personal property without the owner's consent. If an act is both a crime and a tort, it can be dealt with by prosecutions in both criminal and civil courts, but will they ever be able to catch this beast?

She is beautiful! And so courageous. I wish her and her loving family many blessings. Justice, healing, health, happiness, prosperity.

As for the thief... no comment.

As Lady Xanadu stated they are made for the individual, so I doubt it was done for monay. More like the "sick-o-idiot" took them just to be mean and lothsome, "IT" is no doubt very good at it! "IT" is no doubt very, very stupid as well!!!

This is a horrible, cruel and greedy crime.
Thanks Terry

Why would someone do this to this poor girl.I pray they are caught and have a judge from hell!

Did anyone think about how she developed her infection that led to her amputations?
A doctor recently said American hospitals are not as bacteria free as some in Europe.
He went on to say that hospitals here need to put better procedures in place so these
horrible infections don't thrive.
