At approximately 8:30 p.m. Sunday, a male who chose to prepare for the Philadelphia Eagles matchup versus the New York Giants by tailgating in a parking lot on the 3300 block of South Seventh Street told authorities that as he was operating his motorized wheelchair, an unknown female approached him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The woman, whom the victim said was inebriated, spotted his prosthetic leg on the side of the chair, immediately grabbed it and ran through the parking lot with it.
SEPTA employees at the Fern Rock Station contacted South Detective Division at 12:30 a.m. Monday to report they had located the item while checking the Broad Street Line at the end of a run. Personnel quickly returned the limb to the man, who described the thief as white, 22 to 25 years old and 5-foot-6; having long dark hair; and wearing blue jeans and an Eagles jersey.
