Weekend Edition Saturday, December 13, 2008 · There's a new technological innovation in holiday displays. The Associated Press reports this week that a number of churches and synagogues are installing global positioning system chips inside nativity scenes and menorahs so that they can be quickly located if they are stolen.

Apparently, a fair number of purloined baby Jesuses and misappropriated menorahs make it onto police blotters every year.

Already this season, a baby Jesus was stolen from the First United Methodist Church of Kittanning, Pa., and replaced with a pumpkin.

I think it would have solved a lot of problems if Joseph and Mary had had the little tyke tagged in the first place.

2. yeah this is a local thing here

I guess it goes with the fine W PA tradition of stealing the creche from people's lawns!

3. I think it would have been easier if Joseph and Mary had just had a pumpkin
