Steve Kolchurk, a 50-year-old Montreal restaurant proprietor, did not trust banks. So he hid his savings in his wooden leg. Now he has complained to the police that his leg has been burgled of 2100 dollars (more than £400) while he was asleep in bed. He had been saving the money in order to return to Czechoslovakia, his native land. One day ho felt ill and went to bed. When he got up again he looked in the leg to see if the money was safe. To his horror only 900 dollars (£180) were there, the rest of his savings had gone.
