GPS on the Baby Jesus

I just saw on the news in New Jersey a church has put a GPS in their Baby Jesus in the Nativity Scene.   Because of it getting stolen every year.  They are not the only ones doing it.  Apparantly, it's a problem everywhere and more and more nativity scenes have this in their Baby Jesus's.   One Church lost theirs and the next morning they tracked it across the street at a neighbor's house.  The 18 yr old boy was hauled off to the local authorities. So, if you're a juvenile and are looking to steal Jesus, ya better watch out!

  What's the big need to do this? Unreal.

Interesting sign of the times, huh?

I agree, Sandra. You're probably not old enough to remember the tv show Dragnet. There was a show where a baby Jesus was stolen from a church and Friday and Gannon had to find out what happened. Turns out a little boy took the figure from the church. If it shows up on reruns, watch it. It's great!

Dragnet, I haven't seen that in years. I dont even see the reruns on anymore. Good show, never saw that particular one.
I see where people are stealing Christmas trees off of lots at nights because of the economy being so horrible and how hard it is to buy a tree. Especially now when they start at 30 dollars!
But, Jesus?
sad times.

Just thinking, Old Friday and Gannon didn't need no stinkin trackers, lol.

don't they have better things to do?? When I was a teen, I was so busy I didn't have time to act foolishly like this!

How would you like to be the person in charge of making the call if one went missing? Talk about throwing the representative off-guard, lol.

"Hello, this is OnStar. How may we be of service?"

"Uh, hi...I need to find Jesus."

Merry Christmas! :)

interesting that the church has enough funding for a gps tracking unit.
Melanie B. Dec 22, 2008, 1:47pm EST
lol really I agree with Linda.. It is amazing how much money some of these churches have. And how much the church itself cost to make!
Melanie B. Dec 22, 2008, 1:48pm EST
I guess after a few years, of not having to replace the baby Jesus. The gps will pay for itself.. lol ;-)
Priscilla P. Dec 23, 2008, 8:34pm EST
I guess a lot of people want Jesus.

Shame on those for stealing the poor babe.
