The High-Tech Kidnapping of Baby Jesus
For years, local governments and churches across America have dealt with the prank tradition of teenagers stealing the ceramic Baby Jesus figurine from outdoor Nativity displays. In Wellington, Florida, officials finally had enough and equipped the figurine with a GPS tracking device. Sure enough, in 2007, the figurine went missing. Police easily tracked the signal directly to an apartment, where they found the stolen item lying face down on a counter. The 18-year-old culprit was arrested, and the "smart" Baby Jesus was returned safely to his manger.
