A college pitcher is trying to turn the theft of his prosthetic arm into a charity drive

The next day, the pack and its attachments, which cost thousands of dollars, had been found “dumped at the end of our block,” Hanson wrote on Facebook. Although the prosthetic arm was still missing, Hanson’s spirits rose a bit because replacing the attachments would have added time and expense because it would have required him to work with “four or five companies.” He will be able to replace the arm at “a one-stop shop,” although it is a high-cost carbon-fiber prosthetic that can run in the range of $5,000 to $10,000.
