Northland man's prosthetic foot stolen out of letterbox

A Northland man's been forced to fashion a prosthetic foot out of back shed bits and bobs after someone pinched the real deal. Russel Blank, had sent his prosthetic foot off for repairs at the Auckland Artificial limb centre, but when it was returned by courier someone swiped it out his Whangaroa letter box. His spare is not so comfortable so Russel resorted to a bit of DIY and came up with a makeshift replacement. Blank spoke to Lisa Owen.
