There was just a call on police radio for a woman at the Linc who stole a man's prosthetic leg. Only description is she's in Eagles gear.

Why does Philly get a bad reputation?
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
A woman in a giant stadium in Eagles gear. It should be easy for police to find this thief.
We have a theory on how this happened.

Update: The fan whose leg was stolen happens to be a well-known Philadelphia entertainer.
Entertainer has his prosthetic leg stolen while singing outside the Eagles game. Sonny Forriest Jr says a woman took his leg and just ran.
— John Rawlins (@JRawlins6abc) October 13, 2014 FURTHER UPDATE: THE LEG HAS BEEN FOUND!
Police began to investigate after Forriest Jr. filed a police report. On Monday around 1 a.m., a SEPTA conductor found the prosthetic leg on a train at the other end of the Broad Street Line Subway at the Fern Rock Transportation Center in Olney and then contacted police.
Police reached out to Forriest Jr. to return the leg.
Investigators said that it appeared in total that three women took part in the heist.
Whew. Stop that, leg thieves!
