If a church is worried that heartless Grinches might steal from its Nativity scene, it can tag the Baby Jesus with a GPS tracker.
BrickHouse Security is providing free GPS trackers to churches and communities across the country.
Religious institutions and nonprofits can enroll in a program to get a free Spark Nano GPS tracker to install inside a Baby Jesus statue or attach to a Menorah.
That way if a thief makes off with a cherished treasure, the church, synagogue, or other group can log on via computer or mobile phone to track the missing items. [Source]
Some might remember my prophetic parody from years ago:
Find Jesus
|

Do you know where you Baby Jesus in your Nativity set is? With the rash of Baby Jesus thefts across the country whether it be public or private land how can you be sure? Do your check your lawn often fearing some Nativity scene napper with who know what nefarious scheme? Or perchance that it will be stolen only to be returned later with glued on devil horns as happened recently in Norwalk, Connecticut. Have you considered even resorting to using a chain attached to the leg of the Baby Jesus regardless of the atheistic of this act?
This GPS loop transmitting antenna cleverly disguised as a halo will ensure that you can track your Baby Jesus no matter where it is taken
The provided GPS receiver will help you track down your property if it does come up missing. This small compact unit will give you an exact location at every moment. If it detects that it has been moved from the preset position an alarm is sounded immediately. Simply follow the onscreen and audible instructions to retrieve your Baby Jesus or to provide the police with its location. Jesus tells the parable of the lost sheep which he was willing to go look for and find. Return the favor and Find Jesus®.

I’ve seen “Life Imitates the Onion”, but this is the first “Life Imitates the Jester”. Keep it up!
Actually…Baby Jesus goes awol a lot in our house. Apparently he likes to play with the rest of the kids. Could be very useful .
If this doesn’t really exist, then it should! And if it does, then about time!
