ON THE CUTTING EDGE: 'Tis The Season ...

For Baby Jesus thefts. But technology can guide law enforcement to the miraculous babe just as surely as the Star of Bethlehem guided the Magi to his manger, reports The Associated Press:

 

Giving up on old-fashioned padlocks and trust, a number of churches, synagogues, governments and ordinary citizens are turning to technology to protect holiday displays from pranks or prejudice. …

 

So far in 2008, Baby Jesus has appeared in several police reports. At First United Methodist Church in Kittanning, Pa., a baby Jesus was stolen and replaced with a pumpkin. In Eureka Springs, Ark., someone who absconded with a plastic baby Jesus from a public display last week also took the concrete block and chain that was supposed to act as a deterrent.

 

Previously, stolen Jesus figurines have also been defaced with profanity or Satanic symbols.
