At this time of year, you have teenagers who really get bored waiting on Santa to come and visit . . So what to do to occupy the time? They steal Nativity scenes and hide them. Well, this one Florida town has some "Wisemen" on the council! They equipped baby Jesus as well as the other players in the scene with GPS units so that they can track them, should Jesus start walking shortly after being born! Here is the article from the Inquirer. Sunday December 23, 2007 2:16 PM BAL HARBOUR, Fla. (AP) - A baby Jesus statue here is getting a Global Positioning System for Christmas. The statue, part of a nativity scene, will be equipped with the device after the previous statue went missing, even though it had been bolted down. ``I don't anticipate this will ever happen again,'' said Dina Cellini, who oversees the display, ``but we may need to rely on technology to save our savior.'' The Mary and Joseph statues will also be fitted with GPS devices, she said. The devices are being bought using residents' contributions and Cellini's own money. Cellini has also installed a Plexiglas screen in front of the display.
I love this story! Way to go Bal Harbour, Florida! Great thinking! I sure wish I had a GPS built into my laptop that got stollen . . .
