You Can't Make This Stuff Up!!

MAIDEN, North Carolina  —  A man who bought a smoker at an auction of abandoned items might have thought twice had he looked inside first.

Maiden police said Tuesday the man opened up the smoker and saw what he thought was a piece of driftwood wrapped in paper. When he unwrapped it, he found a human leg, cut off 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 centimeters) above the knee.

The smoker had been sold at an auction of items left behind at a storage facility, so investigators contacted the mother and son who had rented the space where the smoker was found.

The mother, Peg Steele, explained her son had his leg amputated after a plane crash and kept the leg following the surgery "for religious reasons" she doesn't know much about.

"The rest of the family was very much against it," Steele said.

Steele said her son, John Wood, plans to drive to Maiden, about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northwest of Charlotte, to reclaim his amputated leg, police said.

I'm sure this guy will go to court to get his property back, but I'm betting that legally he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I lived in NC for a couple of years.  Sure did eat a lot of good BBQ.  All that meat, all those smokers.  This story kind of makes me wonder,.... :o

Nahhhhhh.
