SOLVED: Wendy Preddy now has the answer to the mystery of the lost leg.

Wendy Preddy is concerned someone in Timaru is literally without a leg to stand on.

She was walking in the South end of Timaru on Monday evening and at the intersection of James and Keith Sts when she noticed her dog was sniffing something.

"I went over to look and it was a leg. I was laughing walking home with it to show the kids.

"Someone must be missing it, it has been very well worn at the bottom."

If you believe this prosthetic limb is yours, call Miss Preddy on 027 7753641. "If no-one claims it, I might just put a pot plant in it and put it in the garden."
