Samuel Luther of North Aurora couldn’t find his bionic left arm after he attended a modeling class in the 1600 block of South Halsted on Oct. 18, and the family thought it had been stolen out of their convertible while it was parked on that block.

However, a Subway employee called Chicago Police detectives Thursday morning and reported the arm had been discovered at the restaurant, police said.

An employee called police and told police they’d found the arm, but had just put it aside not knowing what it was, police said.
