HOAX!!! this is one of the oldest e-mail hoaxes out there.. check out:
http://www.urbanlegends.com/medical/organ.theft/organ_theft_asia.html
there have been many variations of the stolen kidney story over the
years...
as a rule of thumb, anytime I get a story in an e-mail, I run it by
http://www.urbanlegends.com or alt.folklore.urban before believing it.

It's an "urban legend". Please let this thing die unless someone's got
a similar story about how their Dakota, not their kidneys, is missing

why is it bogus? there has been special's on the news about that
happing,
kidneys are in such high demand that i can see people doing this.
especially if
that guy who auction his off on ebay started it out at 25,000 and it
went up to
5,000,000 i'd go steel someone's kidney for 5 mil, if there's people
willing to
pay that much, there's people willing to steel,

not
an urban legends mailing list. Please keep the non-Dak topics to
