Stolen Implant

There is a search underway in Concord, California for part of a cochlear implant. A two-year-old lost a part of his hearing aid when he fell off a scooter last night. Witnesses say someone took off with it. The child wears implants in both ears. The custom devices are useless to anyone else and cost the family about $3000. Police say the culprit appeared to be a male Hispanic teenager.
