I heard a similar story, but it wasn't the same.
It happened in Taiwan or China or somewhere in Southeast Asia. Some corporate head-honcho was kidnapped and had his thumb removed for the same reason. The kidnappers used the thumb to get into corporate HQ.
I recently read about biometrics that are being developed that also check for body-heat, which would remove the possibility of removing body parts.
Found it! Was in Malyasia...
Thumb Story
When they make changes, they need to publicize them so the thieves know the thumb alone will not help them!
