Fake legs seem to be a bum deal – but if you are on house arrest – AND the police never even notice you have a fake leg, you can dance the night away without remorse (if of course you have an EXTRA fake leg to go dancing with). Seems a Bloke in the UK was this lucky – and told the judge about it – who expressed his ‘remorse.’

This is not the first time someone has had legal issues surrounding a fake leg, there was a man who used his fake leg to smuggle iguanas – which is a bit extreme if you ask me, but not as bad as the guy who smuggled eggplant and birds in his tights!

“I thought she would realise straight away – but she never bothered to turn up my trouser leg or look underneath my sock. I just left things as they were for a joke.”

Ravenhill was given probation by a judge but barred from going out at night for three months.

Despite security workers checking his tag every four weeks, none noticed it was attached to the metal leg.

He said: “I didn't break my curfew once – but I could have been out living it up every night. I'm no danger to the public – but what if they'd done the same thing to an armed robber?”
